Answer:

<h3>Yes, it should be -2.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you have to divide this fraction from left to right.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fraction is a division or part of a whole number.

<u>First, do apply the fraction rule.</u>

$\rightarrow: \sf{\dfrac{A}{B}\div \dfrac{C}{D}=\dfrac{A}{B}\times \dfrac{D}{C}}$

$\sf{-\dfrac{1}{50}\times \dfrac{100}{1}}$

<u>Cancel the common factor of 50.</u>

$\sf{-\dfrac{2}{1} }$

<u>Divide.</u>

-2/1=-2

$\rightarrow: \boxed{\sf{-2}}$

So, the final answer is -2.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Can you help me with this problem: Elena and Jada both read at a constant rate, but Elena reads more slowly. For every 4 pages t

Paraphin [41]

4 pages Elena = 5 pages Jada

To figure out how many pages Jada reads if Elena reads 1, divide 5 by 4: 1.25. This means that for every 1 page Elena reads, Jada reads 1.25 pages.

So if Elena reads 9 pages, multiply 1.25 by 9: 11.25 pages that Jada reads.

For S pages read by Elena, this is a variable, so I’m assuming it means for every S pages, Jada reads 1.25S

HELP ASAP ITS SO HARD! Kelsey did the following division problem. Her teacher says that the quotient she found is wrong. −2 5/6

SpyIntel [72]

Part A

Her steps were

$-2 \frac{5}{6} \div 1 \frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{17}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}\\\\-\frac{6}{17} \times \frac{3}{4}\\\\-\frac{6\times 3}{17\times4}\\\\-\frac{18}{68}\\\\-\frac{9}{34}\\\\$

Kelsey made a mistake on line 3. Note how the 17/6 flips to 6/17. This is not correct. You keep the first fraction the same, but you do flip the second fraction. This only applies when you divide two fractions.

The third step should look like $-\frac{17}{6}\times \frac{3}{4}$

=======================================================

Part B

Here's what she should have written

$-2 \frac{5}{6} \div 1 \frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{17}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}\\\\-\frac{17}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}\\\\-\frac{17\times 3}{6\times 4}\\\\-\frac{51}{24}\\\\-\frac{17}{8}\\\\$

If you want to convert that improper fraction to a mixed number, then you could do something like this

$-\frac{17}{8} = -\frac{16+1}{8}\\\\-\frac{17}{8} = -\frac{16}{8}-\frac{1}{8}\\\\-\frac{17}{8} = -2 \frac{1}{8}\\\\$

Or you could divide 17 over 8 using long division to get 2 remainder 1. The 2 is the quotient that goes to the left of the 1/8. The remainder of 1 is the numerator of 1/8.

6. Which expression is equivalent to -21 + 28x?

Rina8888 [55]

Solution,
-28x^2+35x
take the common,
-7x(4x-5)
The answer is -7x(4x-5)
Here,
If we solve,
-7x(4x-5)
Then, the answer would be:
= -7x*4x+7x*5
= -28x^2+35x
Hope it helps
