Answer:
negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
what is half of -6?
=-3, negative.
You owe your friend 6 dollars, and you have 0 dollars.
Your friend told you: you only have to pay half the money
so, instead of owing 6 dollars, you owe 3 dollars, which will still be equal to -3 dollars from your wallet :)
So you divide 50 by 2 so there are 25 before him
Answer:
50 soldiers must be transferred elsewhere.
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question by proportions, using a rule of three.
As the number of soldiers decrease, the provisions last for more time. This means that the measures are inversely proportional, and we have an inverse rule of three, using line multiplication, instead of cross.
30 days of provisions - 200 soldiers
40 days of provisions - x soldiers

Simplifying by 40

The provisions will last for 40 days with 150 soldiers, which means that 200 - 150 = 50 soldiers must be transferred elsewhere.
Answer:
$140
Step-by-step explanation:
You can add up the prices to find the total. Most of us find it easier to multiply the price by the number of items.
cost of 2 shirts = (2)($25.00) = $50
cost of 4 pants = (4)(22.50) = $90
The total was $50 +90 = $140.
