Either a pecan or walnut means you add the probabilities together

20% plus 35% equals 55%

What is (-7/8)(-3/4) simplified

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/8 × -3/4 = 21/32

-7 × -3 = 21

-8 × -4 = 32

21/32

<u><em>IMPORTANT: This number is not negative, because a negative times a negative is a positive.</em></u>

By the way, if you didn't know how to arrive at the fraction here's how.

First, Address input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values: The decimal number = 0.65625. Then, write it as a fraction

0.65625/1

Multiply by 100000 both the numerator & denominator

(0.65625 x 100000)/(1 x 100000) = 65625/100000

65.625% = 65.625/100 or 65625/100000

Find LCM (Least Common Multiple) for 65625 & 100000.

3125 is the LCM for 65625 & 100000

Divide by 3125

65625/100000 = (65625 / 3125) / (100000 / 3125)

= 21/32

I'm always happy to help :)
