Question

One fifth of a number, ‘w’, minus 2

Answer 1

Note: - × + is -

1/5-2

w/5-2

Now we are dividing a number with a variable so we just multiply both

5•-2 is -10

the slash means over or 1 fifth

Answer 2

`(1)/(5) w-2` or
`(w)/(5) -2`

Explanation:

I believe that the answer would be...

`(1)/(5) w-2` or
`(w)/(5) -2` (They are the same thing!)
I got this answer by determining that one-fifth of w would be...

`(1)/(5) w` or
`(w)/(5)`
And then minus two means to subtract two getting the final answer stated up above. I hope this helps! Have a great day ^^
