Just substitute the values: -1/-10-6 -> -1/-16 -> 1/16.
The answer is two is to three
first see the common multiple of 2&4which is 4 so in end u end up with 2/4 & 3/4 hence answer is 2:3

The commutatice property for addition says a+b=b+a
If it was for subtraction, then it would be a-b=b-a
Take a=7 and b=5
7-5 is not equal to 5-7
2 is not equal to -2
So subtraction is not commutative for whole numbers.
Hope this helps :)
Product is multiplying. when you multiply a letter with a number you don't put any symbols so it would be 8c
So it is really easy to solve firstly we can see how much does the first 10 boxes make which makes around 55$ obviously. Secondly 45$ for the next 10 boxes.
So for now we can simply calculate that we have spent around 100$ which means 20 boxes. The remaining money left is 77$ so we can buy 77/3.5 = 22 only 22 boxes with that money. Hence a total of 42 boxes.
