Answer:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hernando ate 2/8 of a pizza for dinner.

Let the pizza be x. Then:

Hernando ate \dfrac{2}{8} \ \ o f  \ \ x

Then he gave the rest of the pizza to his friends

Hernando now carried out the  following calculations to support his activities;

\dfrac{6}{8} \div 6= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}

\dfrac{6}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{6}= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}

From the above calculation; we will see that Hernando divided 6 by 6 in both cases to get \dfrac{1}{8}.

Thus, the correct answer is:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.

Solve by factoring<br> p² + 16p +64 = 0<br> i like highkey don’t know how to do this
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factor, you just find two numbers that add to be the first number (16) and multiply to be the second number (64). 8 and 8 both do this. So when we factor, we also add the variable into each equation because it also has been divided into two equations, and we get: (p + 8)(p +8). Notice that the equations are "+8" and not "-8" because two +8s add to give us a +16 and multiply to give us a +64. After that, we just solve the two equations to find the solutions. Subtract 8 from each equation (we do the opposite operation because 8 is positive) to get -8. Because the answer for each equation is the same our answer is -8.
