Answer:

  -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)/(2/-5) +(-1/4) = (1/2)·(-5/2) -(1/4) . . . . invert the denominator and multiply

  = -5/4 -1/4 = -6/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add the two terms

  = -3/2 . . . . . reduce the fraction

_____

<em>Comment on fraction division</em>

There are two ways to divide fractions. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

<u>One</u>: multiply by the inverse of the denominator:

  (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c) = (ad)/(bc)

<u>Two</u>: adjust the denominators to be the same, then use the ratio of numerators:

  (a/b) / (c/b) = a/c

__

Here, we could rewrite the fractions as ...

  (5/10) / (-4/10) = -5/4 . . . . using method two

You can draw a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel lines and no right angles? @KamiBug,
aksik [14]
<span>Yes, you can do this. It is important to note however that inside of lines, the sides of a this quadrilateral are better described as segments. A quadrilateral has four sides, and if there are two sets of parallel sides, it is a parallelogram. A rectangle is a parallelogram, but it has four right angles. If you take a rectangle, and change the angles, you will still have a parallelogram that is no longer a rectangle. It will have two sets of parallel sides, but no right angles. Opposite angles will be congruent.</span>

HEB has dish soap that costs $2.80 for a 12oz bottle. Fiesta has the same dish soap that costs $2.00 for a 8 oz tube.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The unit rate at HEB is $0.23 per ounce. The unit rate at Fiesta is $0.25 per ounce. So HEB has the better buy for dish soap.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate unit rate, you divide the price by the oz.

So for HEB, you should do $2.80/12 oz. This will equal to $0.23 per ounce. For Fiesta, you should do $2.00/8 oz. This will equal to $0.25 per ounce.

To determine which one is the better buy, the lower priced one is better, meaning HEB is the better buy.
