Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so adding negative numbers can get very tricky, but I think I can help

Since there are two negative signs next to each other, they both cancel out and become positive so instead you get

-2+7

And if you do this with a number line, if you start and negative 2 and keep going right 7 times, you get 5

I hope I helped! I know negative numbers can be really difficult, but once you get the hang of it I bet you'll be great!

p varies jointly as q and the square of r, and p = 200 when q = 2 and r = 3. Find p when q = 5 and r= 2.

Margarita [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a variables varies jointly, we can just divide it by the other variables in relation to it.

For example, since p variables jointly as q and square of r, then

$\frac{p}{q {r}^{2} } = k$

where k is a constant

First, let find k. Substitute p= 200

q= 2, and r=3.

$\frac{200}{2(3) {}^{2} } = k$

$\frac{200}{18} = k$

$\frac{100}{9} = k$

Now, since we know our constant, let find p.

$\frac{p}{q {r}^{2} } = \frac{100}{9}$

Q is 5, and r is 2.

$\frac{p}{5( {2}^{2}) } = \frac{100}{9}$

$\frac{p}{20} = \frac{100}{9}$

$p = \frac{2000}{9}$

Sara left a bin outside in her garden to collect rainwater. She notices that 1/8 gallon of water fills 2/3 of the bin. Write and

Tpy6a [65]

Answer: 3/16 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

With any fraction, if you multiply it by its reciprocal, it equals 1. (ex: 3/4*4/3=1, 1/2*2/1=1, 71/256*256/71=1) Thus, 2/3*3/2=1. Because 2/3 of the bin=1/8 gallon, simply multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 and you will get that 1 bin of water=0.1875 gallons of water, or 3/16 gallons of water.

Hope it helps <3
