Answer:

  -0.67, -0.68, -0.69, -0.70, -0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an infinite number of ways to do this.

Perhaps the simplest is to do it in decimal.

 -4/5 = -0.8

  -2/3 = -0.666... (repeating 6)

Any negative decimal number between these values will do. For example, ...

  -0.67, -0.68, -0.69, -0.70, -0.71

__

If you want to choose fractions that are evenly spaced between the given values, you can find their difference, then divide that difference into 6 parts (1 more than the number of numbers you need).

  -2/3 -(-4/5) = 4/5 -2/3 = (12 -10)/(5·3) = 2/15 . . . . length of interval

  1/6 of this difference is ...

     (1/6)(2/15) = 2/90 = 1/45

The interval end point nearest 0 is ...

  -2/3 = -30/45

so the 5 intermediate values will be that value with -1/45 repeatedly added:

  -31/45, -32/45, -33/45 = -11/15, -34/45, -35/45 = -7/9

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The fractions we came up with could be referred to as "5 arithmetic means between -2/3 and -4/5." There is nothing in the problem statement suggesting the values need to be evenly spaced.

When doing this in decimal, you can obtain a new value simply by adding more digits to the decimal fraction:

  -0.68, -0.685, -0.6853, -0.68531, -0.799

What percent of 80 is 25
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: 31.25%

Step-by-step explanation: To answer the question <em>what percent of 80 is 25</em>, we translate the question into an equation.

So we have "what percent" that's x, "of 80" means times 80, "is 25" = 25.

Now to solve for <em>x</em>, since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 80, we need to divide by 80 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 80's cancel and we have <em>x</em> and on the right side of the equation, we have 25 ÷ 80 which gives us 0<em>.</em>3125. Now, remember that we want to right our answer as a percent so to write 0.3125 as a percent, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right and we get 31.25%.

Therefore, 31.25% of 80 is 25.

Need answers before 8pm!!
GaryK [48]

We have similar triangles so

12/x = (12+78)/(x+13)

We can skip some algebra by doing the ratio on the pieces.  We'll show it works at the end.

12/x = 78/13

x = 12(13)/78 = 2

We check

12/2 = 6

(12+78)/(2+13) = 90/15 = 6, good

Answer: x=2
