This should be simple ( and it probably is).
[5-27].-5 divided by -5
-22.-5= 110 divided by -5 = -22
They said this was wrong! -5.-22=+110? Right?
Please help my scattered brain!
<3 Amy
are the terms in the numerator multiplied or subtracted. If multiplied, you are right. If subtracted,
-110-5=-115
divided by-5 is 23
They are multiplied. I'll ask my teacher about this one.
Hi Amy! I can definitely help you with this problem. Let's break it down step by step:
We have the expression [5-27].-5 divided by -5.
First, let's simplify the expression in the brackets: 5 - 27 = -22.
Now, we have -22.-5 divided by -5.
To divide a number by -5, we can multiply the number by -1 and then multiply by 1/5.
So, -22 multiplied by -1 is 22.
Then, 22 multiplied by 1/5 is 22/5 or 4.4.
So, -22.-5 divided by -5 is equal to 4.4.
However, it seems there is some confusion in your question. You mentioned that -5.-22 should equal +110, but that is not correct. Multiplying two negative numbers together results in a positive number.
So, -5 multiplied by -22 is indeed +110, not -110.
I hope this explanation helps clarify things for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
