Solve for m. m/8−4=−12 (1 point) Responses m = -64 m = -64 m = -1 m = -1 m = -128 m = -128 m = -2
To solve for m, we need to isolate m on one side of the equation.
We have the equation: m/8 - 4 = -12.
First, let's add 4 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -4 term:
(m/8 - 4) + 4 = -12 + 4
m/8 = -8.
Next, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to get rid of the fraction:
8 * (m/8) = -8 * 8
m = -64.
Therefore, the solution is m = -64.
Tell what is -16 divided by m/8
To determine what -16 divided by m/8 is, we can rewrite the expression as (-16) * (8/m).
When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately:
(-16) * (8/m) = (-16 * 8) / m.
Simplifying the numerator:
(-16 * 8) = -128.
So, (-16) * (8/m) = -128/m.
Therefore, the expression -16 divided by m/8 is -128/m.
Tell why you should divide but you should multiply
Apologies for the confusion caused in my previous response. You are correct, when dividing -16 by m/8, we should actually multiply.
To calculate -16 divided by m/8, we can rewrite it as -16 * (8/m).
This is because dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal.
So, -16 divided by m/8 can be expressed as -16 * (8/m).
it's -1
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Let's solve the expression -16 divided by m/8 correctly.
To divide -16 by m/8, we need to multiply -16 by the reciprocal of m/8. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping the numerator and denominator.
The reciprocal of m/8 is 8/m. Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as -16 * (8/m).
Multiplying -16 by 8 gives -128. Then, we divide this by m:
-128 / m
Thus, the correct answer is -128/m.
