The answer is:  " 3:5" ; or, write as:  "3/5<span>" .
</span>___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
  "60%" =  60/100  = 60 ÷ 100" ;  so take:  "60" ; and move the decimal back
TWO (2) places (since "100" has "two zeros" ; and since we are DIVIDING) ;

Note: Since we are "dividing"; we move the decimal BACK (to the LEFT). 

→ that is:  treat "60" as: "60." ;  and move the "implied decimal" back two spaces;   to get:  "0.60"  ;  which simplies to:  "0.6" ; 

→ 0.6 = 6/10 ; which reduces:  "6/10 = (6÷2)/(10÷2) = 3/5 ; or, write as:  "3:5".
_______________________________________________________
Other methods:
________________________________________________________
 "60%" =  60/100 ;  cancel out 'one zero' from both the numerator and the denominator; which is the same as:  "60/100 = (60÷10)/(100÷10) = 6/10 ;  Then reduce to:  "3/5"; or write as: "3:5" ; as explained above.
________________________________________________________
Other method:  Use calculator:  "60%" to get: "0.6" and write as "6/10" and—as aforementioned— reduce to: "3/5" (unless your calculator does not automatically include this fraction mode as well); and write the answer as:  "3/5" ; or "3:5" .

    → Alternately, using a calculator:  "60 ÷ 100" ;  and follow through using the directly aforementioned method—as well as the aforementioned methods, if needed; to ultimately get: "0.6" —which equals: "6/10"—and ultimately get:                   "3/5" ; or, write as:  "3:5" .

When reflecting a figure across the x-axis, why does the y-value always change signs?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

see description

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed). Notice that B is 5 horizontal units to the right of the y-axis, and B' is 5 horizontal units to the left of the y-axis.

I need help with number 4
Tju [1.3M]
So you first want to move all variables to one side.

2x = 1/8 + 4x

So perform the opposite of each operation to move it.

2x - 4x = 1/8 + 4x - 4x

-2x = 1/8

And then just divide both sides by -2

-2x / -2 = 1/8 / -2

x = -1/16
