Answer:
-20
Step-by-step explanation:
-8-12=-20
Ex 1:
2/5 x 4/5
Multiply both the numerators together and then multiply both the denominators together. You would multiply 2x4 which is 8 and 5x5 which is 25. Which leaves you with 8/25 and it will stay that way because you cannot simplify it further.
Ex 2:
2/5 and 5/3
Multiply across 2x5/5x3 and you end up with 10/15 which can be simplified/reduced to 2/3 because they share a common factor of 5.
A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction, so in this case we have 8 as the whole part and 0.45 as the fraction, 0.45 is equal to 45/100, and that fraction can be simplified as well, lets see:
8.45 = 8 45/100
= 8 9/20
There are an infinite number of them.
Here are a few:
2.1
2.2
2.3
2.3000000001
2.30000000000000006
2.5
2.00009

etc.
How to find them:
You probably never heard this before, but I'll bet
you'll remember it from now on:
<em>ANY number that you can write down on paper completely, </em><em>using digits
and a decimal point if you need it but no symbols, is a rational number.</em>
If you can write it down completely without any 'comments', then it's rational.
