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.

Complete question :

A pair of $36 jeans were on sale at Jim's Jeans for 1/3 off. The same pair of jeans were $42 at David's Denims. The jeans were on sale for 2/3 off.

A.) which store had the better buy

B.) how much will you pay at the store that has the better buy

Answer:

A.)David's denim has the better buy

B.) $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's Jean store :

Cost of Jean = $36

Discount = 1/3 off

Discounted cost = $36 - (1/3 * $36)

Discounted cost = $36 - $12 = $24

David's Denim:

Cost of Jean = $42

Discount = 2/3 off

Discounted cost = $42 - (2/3 * $42)

Discounted cost = $42 - $28 = $14

David's denim has the better buy with a discounted price lower than the discounted price at Jim's store.

Cost at store with the better buy is $14
