When a number is divided by - 3, the result is not more than 15. what is the number?

i assume it would be 9

Let's call this number 'x'.

We need to set up an equation using x:

x/-3 = 15

Now we just need to rearrange the equation.

Multiply both sides by - 3:

x = - 45

The number is - 45. We can check if this is right by dividing it by - 3 and checking if it is 15:

-45 / - 3 = 15

Therefore - 45 is correct.
