Rewrite the fraction

- 82/5

as a decimal.

First, express it as a mixed number.

5 goes 16 times into 82, because 16 * 5 = 80, and you have a remainder of 2. So

- 82/5

= - [ 80/5 + 2/5 ]

= - [ 16 2/5 ]

= - [ 16 + 2/5 ]

Now, multiply both numerator and denominator of that proper fraction by 20, so you get a new fraction whose denominator is a power of ten (100 in this case):

= - [ 16 + (2 * 20)/(5 * 20) ]

= - [ 16 + 40/100 ]

But.40/100 = 0.4. So it is

= - [ 16 + 0.4 ]

= - 16.4 <----- this is the answer.

I hope this helps. =)

You can just multiply the top and the bottom by 2, to get the bottom to be 10. So you get -164/10. From here you can see that 10 goes into 164,16.4 times.

Therefore, -82/5 = -16.4

Trisha and Byron are washing and vacuuming cars to raise money for a class trip. Trisha raised $38 washington 5 cars and vacuumi

ANEK [815]

Answer:

They charged <u>$6</u> for washing and <u>$2</u> for vacuuming the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the charge of washing a car be 'x'.

And also let the charge of vacuuming a car be 'y'.

Now according to question, Trisha raised $38 washing 5 cars and vacuuming 4 cars.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

$5x+4y=38\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1$

Again according to question, Byron raises $28 by washing 4 cars and vacuuming 2 cars.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

$4x+2y=28\ \ \ \ \ equation\2$

Now multiplying equation 2 by '2', we get;

$2(4x+2y)=28\times2\\\\8x+4y=56\ \ \ \ equation\ 3$

Now we subtract equation 1 from equation 3 and get;

$(8x+4y)-(5x+4y)=56-38\\\\8x+4y-5x-4y=18\\\\3x=18\\\\x=\frac{18}{3}=6$

Now substituting the value of 'x' in equation 1, we get;

$5x+4y=38\\\\5\times6+4y=38\\\\30+4y=38\\\\4y=38-30=8\\\\y=\frac{8}{4}=2$

Hence They charged <u>$6</u> for washing and <u>$2</u> for vacuuming the car.

Which is equivalent to x^3 y^-7

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

$x ^ 3 * y ^ {- 7}$

By definition of power properties we have to meet:

$a ^ {-1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}$

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

$x ^ 3 * \frac {1} {y ^ 7} =\\\frac {x ^ 3} {y ^ 7}$

Answer:

$\frac {x ^ 3} {y ^ 7}$
