Question

(-8) • 2/3, (-8)•(2/3), (-18/3), 18/-3, -18/-3 can you please help ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assuming the question is asking for simplification:

1. $\frac{-16}{3}$ or -5$\frac{1}{3}$

2. -6

3. -6

4. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

-8 × $\frac{2}{3}$

• -8 is the same as the fraction $\frac{-8}{1}$

$\frac{-8}{1}$ × $\frac{2}{3}$

• Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

$\frac{-8}{1}$ × $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{-16}{3}$

2.

$\frac{-18}{3}$

• Ask yourself, "How any times does 3 go into -18?" or "By how much do I need to multiply 3 to equal -18?" In this case the answer would be -6.

$\frac{-18}{3}$ = -6

3.

$\frac{18}{-3}$

• Again, ask yourself, "How any times does -3 go into 18?" or "By how much do I need to multiply -3 to equal 18?" In this case the answer would be -6.

$\frac{18}{-3}$ = -6

4.

$\frac{-18}{-3}$

• -3 goes into -18 6 times. Multiply -3 by 6 to equal -18.

$\frac{-18}{-3}$ = 6
