Jordan is using a number line to model the division expression negative 24 divided by 12 What should be a step in his work?

The expression −24 ÷ 12 asks how many jumps of 12 are needed to reach −24, starting at 0. Since −24 is to the left of 0 on the number line, the jumps go left, and each jump is 12 units wide. So the correct step is to draw bounces from 0 to −24.
