Hello!

(-8)^2 means -8 x (-8).

The answer to this would simply be:
-8 x (-8) = 64

Because a negative number is being multiplied by another negative number, the answer becomes a positive number.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

Jay is cutting a roll of biscuit dough into slices that are 3/8 inch thick. If the roll is 101/2 inches long, how many slices ca

IceJOKER [234]

The roll of the biscuit is 101/2 inches long. It has to be cut into slices that are 3/8 inches thick.
Then
The number of slices = (101/2)/(3/8)
   = (101/2) * (8/3)
   = 808/6
   = 404/3
   = 134.66
So the biscuit dough can be cut into 134 slices approximately. A small part will be left. This is the only way to find out the number of slices the biscuit dough can be sliced into. Hope this helps you in understanding the way it is done.
