Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Parentheses next to each other mean to multiply. So, this problem means you need to multiply -4/9 and -5/8. To multiply fractions, you just have to multiply across. To make it easier to understand what I mean...

-4 x -5 = 20 (when you multiply two negatives, it makes a positive)

9 x 8 = 72

20/72 simplifies to 5/18.

Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful day C:

there is 4/5 lb of sand in science supplies. if one scoop of sand weighs 1/20 of a lb how many scoops of sand can maria get from

tatuchka [14]

We want to divide whole sand into scoops, so we have to divide 4/5 by 1/20. Lets do this

$\frac{ \frac{4}{5} }{ \frac{1}{20} }$
We know that if we want to divide 2 fraction we can multiply first by inverse of second fraction instead of dividing.,so:
$\frac{ \frac{4}{5} }{ \frac{1}{20} }$
$\frac{4}{5}* \frac{20}{1}= \frac{4*20}{5*1} = \frac{80}{5}= 16$ scoops - its our result.

In the sequence 400, 200, 150, 75, 25...... what number comes next

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The next term in the sequence = -175

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given sequence is : 400, 200, 150, 75, 25...

Now here, in the given sequence,

First Term - Second Term = 400 - 200 = 200

Second Term - Third Term = 200 - 150 = 50

Third term - Fourth Term = 150 - 75 = 75

Fourth term - Fifth term = 75 - 25 = 50

So, following this pattern,

Fifth Term - Sixth term = 200

Or, 25 - Sixth Term = 200

or, Sixth term = 25 - 200 = - 175

Hence, the next term in the sequence = -175
