i would have to say that the answer is A.

Answer:

A.three groups of nine negatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amber's teacher asked her to explain the division problem [tex]\frac{-27}{3}[/tex]

We get the answer as: -9

We can also say that [tex](-9)(3)=-27[/tex] , means three groups of (-9) is -27.

We can further write -27 as : [tex](-9)+(-9)+(-9)[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is :A.three groups of nine negatives.
