If I read that right:
(3/5)/(-4/9) is equal to
(3/5)*(9/-4)
-27/20
-1 7/20
Recall the double angle identity:

With
measuring between 0º and 90º, we know
. So from the Pythagorean identity, we get

Then

1) 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Vanessa's brothers ate half of the cake.
2) 1.75 + 2.4 = 4.15. 6.5 - 4.15 = 2.35. 4.15 = 2.35 = 1.8. Chad hiked 1.8 ore miles in the morning than in the afternoon.
