Question

Evaluate p/n if n = 2 and p = -8

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-8/2= -4

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/4 or -0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

n=2 and p=-8

substitute p as the numerator and n as the denominator in the fraction

2/-8 simplifies to 1/-4, the sign moves to the front of the fraction because any positive number divided by a negative number will be negative and it is common practice, so the answer is -1/4.

-1/4 is equal to -0.25 in decimal. -0.25 is 1/4 of -1.
