Answer 2

`20(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

We have been given that a hockey goalie loses 2 3/5 rating points each time his team loses. His team loses 8 games in a row.

To find the number that will represent the change in goalie's ratings after losing 8 games we will multiply 8 by
`2(3)/(5)`.

`8*(2(3)/(5))`

Let us convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction.

`8*(13)/(5)`

`(8*13)/(5)`

`(104)/(5)`

`20(4)/(5)`

Therefore,
`20(4)/(5)` will represent the change in the goalie's rating points.
