Multiplying fractions: multiply numerators and multiply denominators
1. 3/4 X -6/7 = -18/28 = -9/14
2. -2/7 X -3/7 = 6/49
3. 4 because 72/9 is 8. -72/-9 is 8. Two negatives makes a positive when multiplying and dividing.
Answer:
(2x+3y)(2x-3y)
Step-by-step explanation:
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
4x² - 9y²
= (2x)² - (3y)²
= (2x + 3y)(2x - 3y)

Answer: 500 pieces of wheat
Explanation:
First: set up the proportion
Cookies:wheat = 8:2
Simplify = 4:1
We need to find how much wheat he needs for 2,000 cookies.
We need to assign a variable for wheat
Wheat = W
If Josh needs to make 2,000 cookies he would need W amount of wheat
Original proportion = 4:1
For 2,000 cookies = 2,000:W
To get from 4 to 2,000
2,000/4 = 500
So W/1 = 500
Isolate the variable:
w/1 (1) = 500/1
W = 500
