Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Form this quotient, representing the number by n:  n / (-8) = 5/8.

Solve this equation for n by multiplying both sides by 8:  -n = 5.  Then n = -5

kati45 [8]

Question:

Morgan is playing a board game that requires three standard dice to be thrown at one time. Each die has six sides, with one of the numbers 1 through 6 on each side. She has one throw of the dice left, and she needs a 17 to win the game. What is the probability that Morgan wins the game (order matters)?

Answer:

1/72

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Morgan can roll a 17 in 3 different ways. The first way is if the first die comes up 5, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 6. The second way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 5, and the third die comes up 6. The third way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 5. For each way, the probability of it occurring is  1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216. Therefore, since there are 3 different ways to roll a 17, the probability that Morgan rolls a 17 and wins the game is  1/216 + 1/216 + 1/216 = 3/216 = 1/72</em>

Solve the equation<br> 0.2(d-6)=0.3d+5-3+0.1d for d
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

d= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you'll have to first simplify the equation to

0.2d+-1.2=0.3d+5-3+0.1d

then combining like terms you get

0.2d-1.2=(0.3d+0.1d)+(5+-3)

0.2d-1.2=0.4d+2

then subtract 0.4d from both sides leaving you with

-0.2d-1.2=2

then add 1.2 to both sides

-0.2d=3.2

after you divide both sides by -0.2

leaving you with the answer

D= -16
