Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the whole. 2/5 of x = -8 so -8 1/5 is -4. -4*5 to find the whole so its -20

Answer: The number is 35

If 2/5 of a number is 14, then we will perform a function of cross multiplication in order to determine the missing number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing number = y

To perform a cross multiplication, firstly, we multiply the numerator of first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.

Secondly, we multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction. Then, the resulting values are divided by each other to get a final numerical value.

Therefore, the missing number (y) will the denominator of the second fraction i.e. 14/y . The first fraction is 2/5.

Thus,

2/5 of 14/y

2/5= 14/y

(2 x y) = (5 x 14)

(2y) = (70)

2y = 70

Since we are looking for value of y, divide both sides by the value beside y

Thus,

2y/2 = 70/2

y = 35

Therefore, the missing number is 35

What is the rate of change in decimal form for the points (1,5) (0,-3)

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The rate of change between (1, 5) and (0, -3) would be 8.0.

Step-by-step explanation:

"What is the rate of change between these two points" is the same as asking "what is the slope between these two points".

We are given the two points (1, 5) and (0, -3) and we are asked to find the rate of change (slope) between these two points. To do this, we could use the slope formula to find the rate of change between the two points. The slope formula is:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

where (x₂, y₂) and (x₁, y₁) are the two points that we are trying to find the slope between.

Lets make (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5) and (x₁, y₁) = (0, -3). (It does not matter which is (x₂, y₂) and which is (x₁, y₁)). Now plug (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5) and (x₁, y₁) = (0, -3) into the equation:

$\frac{5-(-3)}{1-0} =\frac{8}{1}=8$

8 = 8.0, so the answer would be 8.0.

The rate of change between the two points would be 8.0.

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)

Is 6^-2 positive or negative? Explain.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

It's positive when you have 6^-2 it's the same as having $(\frac{1}{6})^{2} \\$ . So 6^-2 it's 1/36.

A diver descends to a location of -50 1 over 4 meters relative to the surface of the water. He then descends another 10 1 over 2

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$-60\frac{3}{4}$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find diver's final location relative to the surface of water we will subtract $10\frac{1}{2}$ from $-50\frac{1}{4}$ because diver dives away another $10\frac{1}{2}$ from his previous location of $-50\frac{1}{4}$ .
