Answer:

40 students gave their speeches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime in math that it says the word "of" it means multiplication. So, in this situation, we are multiplying:

(5/8) x 64.

But, when you are multiplying a fraction by a number, you are actually dividing instead of multiplying. Think of it this way: the question is asking you 5/8 <em>of</em> 64, meaning you must find how many is 5/8 <em>of</em> the amount of students that gave their speeches is. Also, that slash between the 5 and the 8 in the fraction is actually a division symbol. So, by placing 5/8 into 64, we get:

(5/8) x 64 = 40.

I'm quite sure why it asked for "simplest form" when the answer is not a decimal or fraction, but this is the answer to the problem that you have posted.

I hope that this helps.

Is the following number negative, positive or neither?<br> -6 1/2
Annette [7]

Answer:

negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is half of -6?

=-3, negative.

You owe your friend 6 dollars, and you have 0 dollars.

Your friend told you: you only have to pay half the money

so, instead of owing 6 dollars, you owe 3 dollars, which will still be equal to -3 dollars from your wallet :)

A video game store allows customers to rent games for 4.75 each. Customers can also buy a membership for $54 annually, and video
ankoles [38]
Answer:

24 video games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of video games.
We have been given that a video game store allows customers to rent games for $4.75 each. So the cost of renting x video games would be 4.75x.

We are also told that customers can also buys a membership for $54 annually, and video games would only cost $2.50 each. The cost of renting x video games after membership would be 2.50x + 54

To find the number of video-games that will cost same for both options, we will equate both expressions as:

4.75x = 2.50x + 54
4.75x - 2.50x = 2.50x - 2.50x + 54


Therefore, a customer would have rent 24 video games in a year in order for the two options to be equal.
