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.

Steve sold 252 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser. Evie sold 25 fruit baskets for each 100 baskets that Steve sold. How many
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

63 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

Steve sold = 252 baskets

Evie sold = 25 fruit basket for each 100 basket sold by Steve

So, Evie is selling 25% of baskets sold by Steve.

We can calculate the total number of basket sold by Evie by using following formula,

Evie total basket sold = Percent sold by Evie × Basket sold by Steve

By putting the value, we get

Evie total basket sold = 25% × 252

= 63 baskets
