Answer
13
Work Step by Step
When we are simplifying a fraction, we simplify the numbers in the numerator and the denominator before dividing. Because multiplication is before addition in order of operations, we first multiply and then we add.
$-48+(-56) \div -8 \\\\ -104 \div -8$
In this problem, we are dividing two negative numbers. Remember, when we divide two negative numbers, the negatives cancel out, meaning that our answer will be positive. Thus, we find:
$-104 \div -8=13$
