(-2/3)*(-2 1/4)*(3/4) Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
(-2/3)*(-9/4)*(3/4) Then you multiply the numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators
(-2*-9*3) negative times negative is positive, so the negative sign is gone
-------------
(3*4*4*) The lines (-----) is the line of the fraction
54/48 This is the product of this multiplication, now you need to simplify
by reducing the numbers of the fraction
9/8 And that would be the answer
False, because the number 40 is a composite number, those that cannot be broken down are called Prime Numbers.
Prime numbers are numbers that are used to decompose any number, but prime numbers cannot be decomposed, since they only have two Divisors, which are 1 and itself.
48 * .5 = 24
24 the amount of money discounted off the price
Therefore it would be 48 - 24 = 24, but then comes the sales tax.
Do 24 * .045 = 1.08
1.08 is the amount of tax owed on the game so you'd do
24 + 1.08 = 25.08
A) The total cost for the game is 25.08
B) Unfortunately he is short by 8 cents and won't be able to buy the video game he wants.
