Is ther a number line or answer choses I want to help you so please let me know
from least to greatest: 0.85, 8/9 (0.88 as a decimal), 0.93
50% is equal to 5/10 so 5/10 were party cakes 1/5x2=2/10 so 2/10 were fruit cakes 5/10+2/10=7/10 so 10/10 which is 100% of all cakes 10/10-7/10=3/10 so 3/10 of the cakes were sponge cakes.
-2(5)^2+2(5)-3
-2(25)+10-3
-50+10-3
-40-3
=-43
Let n = the unknown number
"The product of a number and 4" = 4 * n = 4n
"increased by 16" = + 16
Set it all equal to - 2.
4n + 16 = - 2
Subtract 16 from both sides to get constants on one side and variables on the other.
4n = - 2 - 16
Combine like terms:
4n = - 18
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate variable n.
n = - 18 / 4
= - 4 and 2/4 = - 4 and 1/2
