Greetings!
Yes, the degree on a monomial can be negative:
Example:

This is equal to:

To easier digest this question, we can multiply the 120 servings by 4 ounces to make it into a common unit of measurement. This way, we can compare ounces with ounces instead of ounces to servings.
We then have 480 servings, and the poor caterer only has 60 ounces. We can put that into a fraction, 60/480. From here, things get slightly easier. All we have to do is make it into a fraction we can digest, which would be 1/8. We can turn that fraction into a decimal by simply dividing. We have 0.125.
Since we are changing from a decimal into a percent, we have to move the decimal point two places to the right. We have out final answer of 12.5%.
Answer: The below figure shows the graph of f(x).
Explanation: Given function, 
Since, here three conditions are given,
In first case for values x<-5 , f(x)=5, so we get a line y=5 parallel to x-axis which passes through point (0,5).
In second case, for values
, f(x) =-2, so we get a line y=-2 parallel to x-axis which passes through point (0,-2).
In third case, for values x>6, f(x)=1, so we get a line y=1 parallel to x-axis which passes through point (0,1).
Thus, these three lines make the piecewise-defined function f(x).
Here is a graph of <span>6x + 5y < 30</span>

Answer: 5</h3>
Explanation:
This is something you could do by trial and error.
The visible numbers are 1,2,3,4,6 which multiply to 144.
Another approach is to notice that 5 is not a factor of 144, so it must be the hidden value not part of the items multiplied.
Every other number 1,2,3,4,6 is a factor of 144.
1*144 = 144
2*72 = 144
3*48 = 144
4*36 = 144
6*24 = 144
