If you mean simplifying -4/8 simplified is -2/4 or -1/2 which in decimal form is -0.5 so it is technically a negative half.
let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall
so half the distance would be 1/2x
then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5
and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6
To solve this, you can use this equation:
1530 ÷ 15 = x
Find x.
That depends on what you are making. If you are going for the vinegar cleanse thing that some people do on their face, then I would recommend either using 120 oz of vinegar or 160 oz vinegar. If you want salad dressing, then you don't use water at all, and instead you use olive oil and salt, Dijon mustard, pepper, and something like chopped shallots, and with this you would use only 1 fluid ounce of vinegar (this is a recipe you can find on epicurious.com). So it really depends on what you are trying to do. I personally like my water without vinegar, and I think that vinaigrette salad dressing is a lot better without 80 oz of water, but that is a personal preference.
