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

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.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! GIVING (17 POINTS)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

61.)   A, B, A

62.) 120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

61.) 48 is a multiple of 6. A multiple is a number which can be fully divided into another number (divded without remainder). Therefore, 48 is a multiple of 6 because 6 * 8 = 48 meaning that 48/6 would equal 8. Because there is no remainder, Carly can put the beads into 6 equal groups.

62.) This is a simple conversion problem. Since they are asking the amount of minutes, you need to convert 2 hours to minutes. You do not need to calculate it or set up a formula because there are 60 minutes in one hour, therore, in 2 hours there are 120 minutes (60 minutes + 60 minutes).

lianna [129]

Answer: Part A.  B origin    Part B. C(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coordinate plane, there are two axes

1) x-axis which is the horizontal axis.

2) y-axis which is the vertical axis.

The intersection of both the axes is known as the origin whose coordiantes are (0,0), i.e. at this point value of x =0 and value of y =0.

Part A: The ordered pair that represents the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis is called the <u>origin</u>.

Part B: The coordinate. Part B the coordinates of the origin are <u>(0,0)</u>.

Evaluate 4(a2 + 2b) - 2b when a = 2 and b = –2
amid [387]
First you simply have to substitute 2 in replace of all the a's, and -2 in replace of all of the b's

4((2)2+2(-2))

Then you want to follow the order of operations, PEMDAS (Parantheses-Exponent-Multiplication-Division-Addition-Subtraction), and multiply within the parantheses.

4(4+(-4))

Next you will add within the parantheses (So add the 4 and -4 together)

4(0)

Lastly multiply

0

Your answer is 0

Hope this helps!
