16: -7(5)= -35 ( REMEMBER THE MOUTH EATS THE BIGGEST NUMBER!)
-6(-6)= 36 therefore 36 is greater than -35
18: they are exactly the same because in multiplication with inters it matters when the signs change. so 3(-6) = -18 ad -3(6)= -18 then -18=-18
20: Same as 18 where division has the same rules. if 8x5=40 then 40/8=5
-40/8=-5 and 40/(-8)=-5 then -5=-5

Answer:
36 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:you look at it and solve it
To find the answer, set up an equation:

Using this set up we can cross out the units that are on opposite sides of the proportion such as miles and hours, leaving us with the desired units of meters and seconds. Then calculate m/s by multiplying 45 by 1000 meters and then dividing that value by 3600 seconds.
The resulting answer is 45mph = 12.5 m/s
C = children
A = adults
293 = c + a
1.50c + 2.50a = 676.50
We can use substitution to solve:
c + a = 293 subtract a to get c = 293 - a
Plug this into the second equation:
1.50(293 - a) + 2.50a = 676.50
439.5 - 1.50a + 2.50a = 676.50
439.5 + 1a = 676.50
a = 237
Substitute this into the first equation:
293 = c + 237
56 = c
