The first thing to do is turn this into an equation: 
2/3 ÷ 10 

10 as a fraction is 10/1
2/3 ÷ 10/1 = 

Fractional division is just fractional multiplication after switching the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction: 
2/3 X 10/1 

Fractional multiplication is simply multiplying the numerators by each other, and the denominators by each other: 
2 X 10 = 20
3 X 1 = 3

20/3

Each piece of liquorice will be 20/3 or 6 2/3 of a yard long.

The possible values of x are given by x+8=&lt;6.<br><br>The greatest possible value of 7x is_____​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The possible values of x is given by x\leq  -2 and they include: -2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and so on

The greatest possible value of 7x is -14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation: x + 8 <= 6

Let collect the like terms:

x + 8 \leq  6\\x\leq  6 -8\\x \leq  -2

Therefore, x <= -2 and the possible values include: -2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and so on

To find the greatest possible value of 7x is when x = -2.

7x = 7 * -2\\7x = -14\\.
