Question

(-8) • 2/3, (-8)•(2/3), (-18/3), 18/-3, -18/-3 can you please help ​

Answer 1

Assuming the question is asking for simplification:

1.
`(-16)/(3)` or -5
`(1)/(3)`

2. -6

3. -6

4. 6

Explanation:

1.

-8 ×
`(2)/(3)`

• -8 is the same as the fraction
  `(-8)/(1)`

`(-8)/(1)` ×
`(2)/(3)`

• Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

`(-8)/(1)` ×
`(2)/(3)` =
`(-16)/(3)`

2.

`(-18)/(3)`

• Ask yourself, "How any times does 3 go into -18?" or "By how much do I need to multiply 3 to equal -18?" In this case the answer would be -6.

`(-18)/(3)` = -6

3.

`(18)/(-3)`

• Again, ask yourself, "How any times does -3 go into 18?" or "By how much do I need to multiply -3 to equal 18?" In this case the answer would be -6.

`(18)/(-3)` = -6

4.

`(-18)/(-3)`

• -3 goes into -18 6 times. Multiply -3 by 6 to equal -18.

`(-18)/(-3)` = 6
