102% as a fraction would be 102/100, because a percent is by the one hundreds, and you can have a fraction be by hundreds. You can reduce the fraction by dividing it by 2, which equals 51/50. Another example, to clarify, is to make 41% a fraction, and decimal. Once again a percent is base 100, so the fraction would be 41/100, then to make it a decimal, you would put a decimal point in front of the 41, to make it .41. Hope I helped, and if you don't understand, tell me and I will try to make it better.
The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]
Problem: 2/3= 18/(x+5)
First, I would multiply the (x+5) over
Making it 2/3(x+5)=18
Second, I would Divide by 2/3 (which is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal 3/2)
which shows up like this now (x+5)=18*3/2
third I would subtract the 5 over
which will give you your answer
A c d hope this will help u
