Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The cost is given for <em>1 sweatshirt</em>. To find the cost of 15 sweatshirts, we need to multiply the expression by 15. Let's do this:

This is the expression that represents the cost of 15 sweatshirts.
Answer: -5/12
Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.
So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.
Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.
Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.
So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.
So our answer is -5/12.
Be very careful with your signs!
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
I found two point and counted the Y change and the X change. Rise over run.
You probably mean either

or

Write 8 = 2³, so that in the first interpretation,

and in the second,

Then in the first interpretation, we have

Otherwise, the second interpretation gives

In this equation, you are solving for y. Simply isolate the variable by adding 1/4 to each side. The -1/4 and 1/4 will cancel out on the right side of the equation, leaving only y:
5/4 = y - 1/4
5/4 + 1/4 = y - 1/4 + 1/4
6/4 = y
y = 6/4
Don't forget to simplify y:
y = 3/2
