Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it this way, you cannot do something positive and then do something negative and it still be positive. You cannot do something negative and then do something positive for it to be positive. But you can do something positive and do something else positive for it to remain positive the same with negative. Therefore the answer is "negative."

Rules:

Positive ÷ Negative = Negative

Positive × Positive = Positive

Negative ÷ Negative = Positive

Hope this helps.

A rectangular prism has a length, width, and height of 2/3 inch, 3/5 inch, and 4/7 inch, respectively. The volume of the rectang

Answer: 8/35 is the exact answer as a fraction; approximately that is equal to 0.22857 (rounded to 5 decimal places)

Work Shown:

The volume of this prism is equal to the length times width times height. We multiply the three fractions out. To do this, multiply straight across. The numerators group up and multiply. The denominators form a separate group to multiply.

Multiply the numbers up top (numerators): 2*3*4 = 6*4 = 24

Multiply the numbers in the bottom (denominators): 3*5*7 = 15*7 = 105

We end up with 24/105. We can divide both numbers by 3 to reduce the fraction (note how 3 is a factor of each multiplication above)

24/3 = 8

105/3 = 35

So that's how I got 8/35

If you want to convert to decimal form, then 8/35 = 0.22857 approximately.

Answer:

8.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Write it as a decimal

7/81 = 0.0864

0.0864 is the decimal representation for 7/81

For Percentage Conversion :

step 1 To represent 0.0864 in percentage, write 0.0864 as a fraction

Fraction = 0.0864/1

step 2 multiply 100 to both numerator & denominator

(0.0864 x 100)/(1 x 100) = 8.64/100

8.64% is the percentage representation for 7/81

The angels of a triangle have a sum of 180°. The angles of a rectangle have a sum of 360°. The angels of a pentagon have a sum o

Airida [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the angels of a triangle have a sum of 180°. The angles of a rectangle have a sum of 360°. The angels of a pentagon have a sum of 540.

Let me define the each terms.

1. We know that each angle in a triangle is 60°, So there is a three angle in a regular triangle.

60° + 60° + 60°
180°

2. We know that each angle in a rectangle, is 90°, So there is a four angle in a regular rectangle.

90° + 90°+90°+90°
360°

Similarly,

There is 8 angle in a regular octagon and each angle measurement is 135°.

So, sum of the angles of an octagon = 135° × 8

Sum of the angles of an octagon = 1080°

Therefore, the required sum of the angles of an octagon is 1080°

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $10 plus an additional $0.15 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $30 p

Mkey [24]

First, you need to write to expressions to model each situation:

Plan A: 10+0.15x

Plan B: 30+0.1x

Next, set the expressions equal to each other and solve for x:

10+0.15x=30+0.1x

*Subtract 0.1x from both sides to isolate the variable*

10+0.05x=30

*Subtract 10 from both sides*

0.05x=20

*Divide both sides by 0.05*

x=400

The plans would have the same cost after 400 minutes of calls.

To find how much money the plans cost at 400 minutes, plug 400 into either expression. We'll use Plan A:

10+0.15(400)

10+60

The plans will cost $70.

Hope this helps!
