7/8(x-1/2)= -49/80

Multiply the bracket by 7/8

7/8x-7/16= -49/80

Move -7/16 to other side. Sign changes from -7/16 to +7/16

7/8x-7/16+7/16= -49/80+7/16

7/8x= -49/80+7/16

Find common denominator for 7/16 which is 5. Multiply 5 for the numerator and denominator.

7(5) / 16 (5)

= 35/80

7/8x= -49/80+35/80

7/8x= -14/80

Reduce -14/80 , divide by 2

(-14) /2=7 , 80/2= 40

-14/80= -7/40

7/8x= -7/40

Multiply by 8/7

7/8x*8/7= -7/40 * 8/7

Cross out 7 and 7 , and divide by 7. Cross out -7 and 7 and divide by 7. Cross out 40 and 8 divide by 8.

x= -1/5

Answer: x= -1/5 - G.

You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. Your friend says it is possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the num

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = number of dimes

2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25 (d + 8 )

2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25d + 2 Combine like terms

2.80 = 0.35d + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides

0.80 = 0.35d Divide both sides by 0.35

d ≈ 2.29

No, it's not possible to have more quarters than dimes when the total is $2.80 because it's not possible to have part of a dime.

Brandi solved 16 / 5 by using a related multiplication expression. What multiplication expression did she is?

klemol [59]

The given question is wrong.

Question:

Brandi solved $\frac{1}{6}\div 5$ by using a related multiplication expression. What multiplication expression did she is?

Answer:

The related multiplication expression is $$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$ .

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{1}{6}\div 5$ .

We can write 5 as a fraction with denominator 1.

$$ \frac{1}{6}\div5=\frac{1}{6}\div \frac{5}{1}$

Using the fraction rule $$\frac{a}{b}\div \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}$ ,

$$\frac{1}{6}\div \frac{5}{1}=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$

Now multiply the fractions using the rule $$\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}=\frac{a\times d}{b\times c}$ ,

$$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times1}{6\times5}$

Let us multiply the numbers in the numerator and denominator separately, we get

$$\frac{1\times1}{6\times5}=\frac{1}{30}$

Hence the related multiplication expression is $$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}$ .
