Answer: a) -27, b) 35, c) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, your answer is negative, and since we know that 9 × 3 = 27, and that this figure has to be negative (since 9 is negative), the answer is -27.
b) Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, and since 7 × 5 = 35, the answer is positive 35 (as both 7 and 5 in the original question are negative).
c) Follows just like b.
So you'd have to convert all of the values to one form, and I find it easiest to do it in decimals. 61% would be 0.61, 0.605 stays the same, 3/5 would be 0.6, and 59% would be 0.59. Now you can order them:
0.59, 0.6, 0.605, 0.61
You have to convert them back to their original form, however, so your answer would be
59%, 3/5, 0.605, 61%
I hope this helps!
Ambiguous expression. I think you meant:
3x + 7

x+5
There's no "answer." All you can do here is to combine the terms and simpify the resulting sum.

The term 2.5x represents the fact that the cost of dried fruit is 2.50 per pound, as 2.50 equals 2.5. the x represents the number of pounds bought. does that answer your question?
