Multiply −116 by 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)
To multiply -116 by 7, we multiply the absolute values of the numbers and then determine the sign of the answer.
|-116| * |7| = 116 * 7 = 812
Since one of the numbers is negative, the answer will be negative.
Therefore, -116 * 7 = -812.
To write the answer as a mixed number, we divide the absolute value of the answer by the second number and write the division answer as the whole number, and the remainder as the fraction alongside the divisor.
Dividing |812| by |7|:
812 ÷ 7 = 116 R 4
The whole number is 116 and the remainder is 4. Therefore, the answer in mixed number form is -116 and 4/7.
To multiply -116 by 7, follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the absolute values of the two numbers: 116 * 7 = 812.
Step 2: Determine the sign of the answer. Since one number is positive and the other is negative, the result will be negative.
Step 3: Write the answer as a mixed number. To do this, divide the absolute value of the answer (812) by the second number (7):
812 ÷ 7 = 116 remainder 4.
Step 4: The mixed number form of the answer is the quotient followed by the remainder divided by the divisor: -116 4/7.
Therefore, the answer, when multiplied −116 by 7 and written as a mixed number, is -116 4/7.
