The answer for 2/5 divided by 1/4 is 0.1
Answer:
Hey again! Just remember about the number lines. If it's easier, you can use a calculator to divide the fractions to make them easier to visualize in decimal form.
The answer to this one is:
-2.4
-2.25
-11/5 (which is -2.2)
-15/10 (1.5)
-1.6
Since the -13 has the absolute value signs next to it, the 13 becomes a positive, but there is a negative outside the absolute value, and the negative sign and the absolute value sign cancelled previously, so the expressions is now
-13
The absolute value signs cancel out a negative only inside the signs, not outside, so the negative sign in the outside keeps.
Answer: Bob has 62 cards.
All has 124 cards.
Jane has 186 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cards that Bob has.
Al has twice as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that All has is 2x.
Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that Jane has is 3x.
Together, they have 372 cards. It means that
x + 2x + 3x = 372
6x = 372
x = 372/6
x = 62
The number of cards that Al has is
2 × 62 = 124
The number of cards that Jane has is
3 × 62 = 186
If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
