The unit rate is 1/5. The plant grows 1 inch per 5 days.
Answer: a. Positive, because the products (3)(-3) and (-2)(4) are negative, and the product of two negative numbers is positive
Step-by-step explanation: It is also possible to rearrange the factors.
(3)(4) = 12 a positive number.
(-3)(-2) = 6, a positive number. Again "a negative times a negative is a positive" --Jaime Escalante, <em>Stand and Deliver</em>
Now you have two positive numbers: 12×6 = 72
The product is positive either way.
Answer:
6/5÷31/10=12/31
Step-by-step explanation:
6/5÷31/10=?Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
6/5×10/31=?
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
6×10 5×31=60/155
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 60 and 155 using
GCF(60,155) = 5
60÷51 55÷5=12/31
Therefore:
65÷3110=12/31
