F(x) = x^2 - 3x - 8
f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 3 (-2) - 8
f(-2) = 4 - 3 (-2) - 8
f(-2) = 4 + 6 - 8
f(-2) = 10 - 8
f(-2) = 2 ✅
Eighths and their multiples are common fractions which I recommend memorizing, but to actually solve this, you use the literal meaning of a fraction and divide 5 by 8. See the long-division below (it was surprisingly difficult to type, so I hope it helps!).
To round 0.625 to the nearest hundredth, we go to the second decimal place, which is 5, so we round up to 0.63.
Plug the 5 into the x in the equation 2x. it should be 2(5) which equals 10.
Your answer is 8 to 26
the number of carnations is 8 and the total number of flowers is 26. since you said carnations to flowers it is 8 to 26.
here are the 3 ways to write the ratio:
