The McCalls insured their house for 90% of it's value. If the house is valued at $84,000, how much is it insured for?

The question is just asking for 90% of 84,000. To do this, you can change 90% into decimal by moving the decimal 2 place over which gives .90

After that, you multiply .90 by 84,000 which is $75,600

Another way to do this is to convert 90% to a fraction. To do that, you would put 90/100 which can simplify to 9/10. Then you would multiply that by 84,000. 1 of the 0's can cancel, so you are left with 9x8,400 which gives the same answer

84000 * 0.90 (equivalent to 90%) = $75600

Rewrite -4/15 as an equivalent fraction

timofeeve [1]

$(\frac{-4}{5} )$ in the form of Equivalent Fraction can be written as $\frac{-4x}{15x}$ , where "x" is any integer.

As per the question statement, we are provided with a fraction, $(\frac{-4}{5} )$ .

We are required to rewrite the above mentioned fraction in the form of a general Equivalent Fraction.

To solve this question, we need to know what an equivalent fraction is.

Equivalent fractions are those fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value, when simplified.

For example, $(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{4}{8})$ all equate to $\frac{1}{2}$ when simplified.

Now, for this case, equivalent fractions of $(\frac{-4}{5} )$ are $(\frac{-8}{30}, \frac{-12}{45}, \frac{-16}{60},...)$ , where

$\frac{-8}{30}=\frac{(-4)*2}{15*2}\\\frac{-12}{45}=\frac{(-4)*3}{15*3}\\ \frac{-16}{60}=\frac{(-4)*4}{15*4}$

i.e., the equivalent fractions of $(\frac{-4}{5} )$ are in the form of $\frac{-4x}{15x}$ , where "x" can be any integer, (...-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...)
