First let that number be y.
List the equation by the given info.
y x 112/100 = 56
Shift y to the other side by turning it to ÷y.
112/100 = 56/y
Use cross method,
100 x 56 = 112y
5600 = 112y
y = 50
Therefore that number is 50
-2/(a+b)
Explanation: you are dividing negative two by the sum of a and b so you would put a+b in parentheses as the denominator and then put -2 as the numerator
You would divide 245 by 49 to get a
a= 5
<span>The rule of signs is the same for multiplication and division.
Two numbers with the same sign, multiplied or divided, the answer is positive.
Two numbers with different signs, multiplied or divided, the answer is negative. </span>
