The reciprocal of -2/5, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth is: -2.5.

<h3>What is the Reciprocal of a Number?</h3>

The reciprocal of a number can be described as the inverse of that number. For example, if a is given as a real number, therefore, the reciprocal of a would be 1/a.

Another example is a/b. The reciprocal of a/b is b/a.

Thus, the reciprocal of -2/5 is -5/2.

Expressing this as a decimal, we would have:

-5/2 = 2.5 (nearest tenth).

Therefore, the reciprocal of -2/5, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth is: -2.5.

A store has a 25% off sale on coats. Marcy saved $18.75 on the coat she bought. What was the original price of the coat?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

$25

Step-by-step explanation:

18.75 is 75% of a value. You can easily find the answer by dividing 18.75 and 0.75.

When you have a problem like x*5=30, you divide 30/5 to get 6. Same here, x*0.75=18.75. Divide 18.75/0.75 to get the answer.

A number increased by 5 then divided by 2
alex41 [277]

Answer:

(x + 5) /2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" (this will represent as "x")

"increased" another way to say add or "+"

then divided by 2

If you wrote it out like this "x+5/2"it would be wrong because of PEMDAS making you want to divide first instead of after.
