Simplify the expression -3 divided by -2/5.

Mathematics

You can either convert -3 into a fraction, or convert -2/5 into a decimal so you can solve this.
If you decide to convert -3, into a fraction, it would be -3/1, and you'd have to multiply that by the reciprocal of -2/5.
So, you'd have -3/1(-5/2)=15/2, which can be simplified to 7 1/2.
If you decide to convert -2/5 into a decimal, you would get -0.4. You would then divide -3 by -0.4, which is equal to 7.5.
Both 7.5 and 7 1/2 are correct answers, and if you were to convert 7.5 into a fraction and 7 1/2 into a decimal, you would notice that they are the same number, but in different forms.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown? (3,3) and (-3,-1)
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula, we can find the slope of the line shown

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -1-3)/(-3-3)

   = -4/-6

  = 2/3

A line that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal

-1/ (2/3) = -3/2

Klio2033 [76]
She worked 2 and 1/2 hours yesterday, and today she did 4 and 1/4 hours.

first off, let's check how many hours she worked total, and divide 54 by it.

so, first off, let's convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and add them up.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{4}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{17}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD will be 4}\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 5)+(1\cdot 17)}{4}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{10+17}{4}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies \stackrel{total~hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{wages}{54}}{\stackrel{hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{54}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{54}{1}}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{54}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{27}\implies \cfrac{216}{27}\implies 8~\frac{\$}{hr}
