I'm trying to help my daughter with her alg I. Need help! 8 times 5/6 divided by negative 1/4 equals?

Answer 1

(8 x 5/6) / (- 1 / 4)
- 8 x 5 / 6 x 4 / 1
- 160 / 6
- 80 / 3
- 26 2/3

Answer 2

The method is 8 x 5/6 = 6 2/3. Next, take 6 2/3 divide by -1/4 and it will be equal too -26 2/3. I hope this is correct.

Answer 3

the answer is -80/3.
It goes like this...

8 * 5/6 * -4
( u write the reciprocal of negative 1/4 because you are changing it to multiplication from division)

U reduce 6 and 8 by the table of 2
then u have 4* 5/3* -4
Multiply 4, 5 and -4 to get -80....which is wht goes on top(numerator?

and the three comes down!

So you have -80/3

Answer 4

first multiply quickly in the time of like this 8/a million x 5/6 (any total selection equals that selection over a million) so now you have 40/6 40/6 divided by making use of -a million/4 for dividing fractions you multiply diagonally so 40 x 4 = one hundred sixty and six x a million = 6 your answer would be unfavorable. (if the two fractions have been unfavorable, your answer could be constructive) so now you have -one hundred sixty/4 divide to shrink the fraction and your answer is -40

Answer 5

Really? Okay, 8 times 5/6.... YOu put 8 over one and 5 over six. 8 times five is fourty over six.

Then, you multiply that by the inverse of 1/4. So, fourty times four is 160, over six. Devide 160 by six, you get your answer.



*5/3 of all Americans do not understand fractions.

Answer 6

minus 26 2/3

Answer 7

8 x 5/6 = (40/6)/(-1/4) = -40/6 x 4 = -160/6 = -80/3 = -26.666...

Answer 8

26.66 or 80/3

its +ve as when you inverse - 1/4...it becomes +4/1

Answer 9

8 * 5/6 = 40/6 or 6.667, 6.667/(-1/4) or 6.667 * -4 =
-26.666667

Answer 10

ignore ab it is not positive thats wrong.

how can - 0.25 (-1/4) just become 4 (4/1)?!
