someone please help me
( 1 / 15 ) / ( 3 / 2 ) = 1 ∙ 2 / 15 ∙ 3 = 2 / 45
But:
( 1 / 15 ) ∙ 3 ∙ 2 = 1 ∙ 3 ∙ 2 / 15 = 6 / 15 = 3 ∙ 2 / 3 ∙ 5 = 2 / 5
ty
if you got confused abt the thing cause i c&p it wrong its
(1.15) * 3.2
1.15 ∙ 3.2 = 115 / 100 ∙ 320 / 100 = 115 ∙ 320 / 100 ∙ 100 =
36800 / 10000 = 16 ∙ 25 ∙ 4 ∙ 23 / ( 16 ∙ 25 ∙ 25 ) = 4 ∙ 23 / 25 = 92 / 25
a) To find the product of (−1.15) and 3.2, multiply the two numbers together.
(−1.15) × 3.2 = −3.68
To do this calculation, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply the absolute values of the numbers: 1.15 × 3.2 = 3.68
2. Determine the sign of the answer:
- If both numbers have the same sign (negative or positive), the answer will be positive.
- If the numbers have different signs, the answer will be negative.
In this case, since one number is negative (−1.15) and the other is positive (3.2),
the answer will be negative.
b) To determine the sign of the answer, you need to consider the signs of the numbers being multiplied. In this case, since one number is negative and the other is positive, the answer will always be negative. This is a general rule for multiplying numbers with different signs.
