Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, all you have to do is multiply the number outside the bracket by the number inside the bracket.

12 x -2

The law of negatives says that when you multiply a positive number by a negative number, the answer will be negative

∴ the answer will be negative

all that's left now is to multiply 12 by 2

12 x 2 = 24 (remember the answer will be negative)

answer: -24

I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL :-)

In a wood there are 420 silver birch trees, 160 oak trees and 300 wild berry trees. what percentage of the trees are oak trees?

I would be happy to help!
First you need to find the total amount of trees by adding up all of the different trees:
420+160+300=880
Next you need to divide the amount of oak trees by the amount of trees in the woods:
160÷880=0.182 (rounded)
Finally to find the precentage we need to multiply the 0.182 by 100 to get the precentage of 18.2% oak trees.
