1. The problem asks to write the sentence "The quotient of -112 and 8 amounts to -14" as an equation. 2. The word "quotient" means division, so the quotient of -112 and 8 is written as $$\frac{-112}{8}$$. 3. The sentence says this quotient amounts to -14, so the equation is: $$\frac{-112}{8} = -14$$ 4. To verify, divide -112 by 8: $$\frac{-112}{8} = -14$$ 5. This confirms the equation is correct. Final answer: $$\frac{-112}{8} = -14$$
