We can already tell if a quotient is negative if the divisor or the dividend is a negative number. (Only 1 negative number and 1 positive number, because if there are two negative numbers then the outcome will be a positive.)

Question 4 has one negative number in it so it's already visible that the quotient is already negative. And if we did divide it the answer will be - 1.

Question 3 has two negative numbers so we know that the outcome is a positive number. If solve the quotient is 0.023931813 which is clearly not a negative number.

Question 2 has one negative number so the answer will be negative. The quotient will be - 23.80952381, which is clearly a negative number.

Question 1 doesn't have any negative numbers so the outcome will also be a positive number. The quotient for question 1 is 0.231578947.

So questions 2 and 4 both have negative quotients. While, questions 1 and 3 have positive quotients.
