C because in order of operations you would use PEMDAS, there’s no parentheses or exponents so you’d go to multiplication and division by which ever comes first in the problem.

What is the quotient? Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction divided by negative one-fourth

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractions.

1st fraction is Negative StartFraction 3 over 8

i.e.

$-\dfrac{3}{8}$

2nd fraction is negative one-fourth

i.e.

$-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have to find the quotient when 1st fraction is divided by 2nd fraction.

<u>Definition</u> of quotient is given as:

Quotient is the result obtained when one number is divided by other number.

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \div -\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ is to be calculated.}$

$\div$ is converted to $\times$ and the 2nd fraction is reversed i.e.

if the fraction is $\frac{p}{q}$ it becomes $\frac{q}{p}$ and the sign $\div$ is changed to $\times$ .

Solving above:

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \times -\dfrac{4}{1}\\ \text {Multiplication/Division of 2 negative number gives a positive number}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}$

So, the quotient is $\frac{3}{2}$ .

26. If x:3 = 12:x, calculate the positive value of x.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Answer ::+-6

Step-by-step explanation:

x:3=12:x

or, x/3 = 12/x

Doing cross multiplication,

x^2=36

Putting sqare root on both sides,

x= sqrt. 36

x= +- 6

Therefore x=+-6.
