Answer:
4 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
4 and 7/8 - 1/2 = 4 and 7/8 - 4/8 = 4 and 3/8 of a box more
We have 2l + 2w = 120 and l/w = 2/3;
Then, l = (2/3)w;
Finally, (4/3)w + 2w = 120;
4w + 6w = 360;
10w = 360;
w = 36;
l = (2/3)x36;
l = 24;
This may not be the best explanation but hopefully at the very least it'll guide you!
When you multiply or divide a negative by another negative, you get a positive. When it is a negative and a positive, it remains negative.
Assuming your question simplified into a equation (or number form? Been a while, haha!) is 32÷-2÷(-16÷4), it would end as a positive. Because you first divide the positive 32 by a negative 2, you get a negative. Because -16÷4 is in parenthesis, it is done because following the rest of the equation (P.E.M.D.A.S.!), it would be 32÷-2÷-4. Going from left to right, as you should, it results in a negative being divided by another negative, so you get a positive. 32÷-2÷(-16÷4) = 32÷-2÷-4 = -16÷-4 = 2!
