Answer:

\dfrac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractions.

1st fraction is Negative StartFraction 3 over 8

i.e.

-\dfrac{3}{8}

2nd fraction is negative one-fourth

i.e.

-\dfrac{1}{4}

We have to find the quotient when 1st fraction is divided by 2nd fraction.

<u>Definition</u> of quotient is given as:

Quotient is the result obtained when one number is divided by other number.

-\dfrac{3}{8} \div -\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ is to be calculated.}

\div is converted to \times and the 2nd fraction is reversed i.e.

if the fraction is \frac{p}{q} it becomes \frac{q}{p} and the sign \div is changed to \times.

Solving above:

-\dfrac{3}{8} \times -\dfrac{4}{1}\\ \text {Multiplication/Division of 2 negative number gives a positive number}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}

So, the quotient is \frac{3}{2}.

A rectangle has side lengths 2x + 3 and 5x - 2.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

10x² + 11x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) is the product of the sides, that is

A = (2x + 3)(5x - 2) ← expand using FOIL

   = 10x² - 4x + 15x - 6 ← collect like terms

   = 10x² + 11x - 6
