my answers
1 3
2 -2 and 2
3 -15/20
Am i correct if not could u please tell me what i did wrong?
I know this is old, but I needed help but I'm done now,
1: 3
2: -2 and -10
3: 20 and 10
Your Welcome, Also if this helps say Banana Split
2 -2 and 10?
And for 3 i meant to put -15 AND 20 that was my bad
So 2 is 10 and -10
And 3 is -15 and -40?
Let's go through each question one by one:
1. To find the value of x/y, we simply divide the value of x by the value of y. In this case, x = -21 and y = -7. So, we have (-21) / (-7). When dividing two negative numbers, the negative signs cancel out, resulting in a positive answer. Therefore, (-21) / (-7) = 3. So, the correct answer is B. 3.
Therefore, your answer for question 1 is incorrect.
2. When multiplying a positive number and a negative number, the result can be either positive or negative, depending on which number is bigger in absolute value. Let's go through the options:
A. -2: This is a reasonable answer because a negative number multiplied by a positive number (in this case, -2 multiplied by 1) gives a negative result.
B. 10: This is not a reasonable answer because a positive number multiplied by a negative number (in this case, 10 multiplied by -1) gives a negative result, not a positive result.
C. 2: This is a reasonable answer because a positive number multiplied by a positive number (in this case, 2 multiplied by 1) gives a positive result.
D. -10: This is not a reasonable answer because a negative number multiplied by a negative number (in this case, -10 multiplied by -1) gives a positive result, not a negative result.
Therefore, the reasonable answers are A. -2 and C. 2.
Therefore, your answer for question 2 is partially correct.
3. When multiplying two negative numbers and a positive number, the result is always a negative number. Let's go through the options:
A. -15: This is a reasonable answer because a negative number multiplied by a negative number (in this case, -15 multiplied by -1) gives a positive result. However, the question asks for the product to be negative, so -15 is not a reasonable answer.
B. 45: This is a reasonable answer because a negative number multiplied by a negative number (in this case, 45 multiplied by -1) gives a positive result. However, the question asks for the product to be negative, so 45 is not a reasonable answer.
C. 20: This is not a reasonable answer because any positive number multiplied by a negative number (in this case, 20 multiplied by -1) gives a negative result, not a positive result.
D. -40: This is a reasonable answer because a negative number multiplied by a negative number (in this case, -40 multiplied by -1) gives a positive result. And since the question asks for the product to be negative, -40 is a reasonable answer.
Therefore, the reasonable answer is D. -40.
Your answers for question 3 are incorrect.
Overall, you got 1 out of 3 questions correct. I hope this helps clarify the correct answers for you.
1 3 - yes
2 -2 and 2 - no - What two numbers can you multiply to get 2?
3 -15/20 - no -- The problem calls for two whole numbers -- not a fraction.
2, only -10
3, no - your answer must be a negative
