I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the expression

Calculate the product of the coefficients:
2*5*7=70
Compute the product of the variables. Since they are all the same letter, sum their exponents:

Combine the results:

Step-by-step explanation:
so he already down 20 ft so he ascends (goes up) 9 feet, so hes at 11 feet right now. then he descends 12 (goes down) feet so hes at 23 feet. lastly he ascends 15 feet (goes up) more. so the answer is 8
-(x-20)
Basically it’s the same as your other question but your not adding twenty!
