Question

Select all the expressions that are equivalent to –8.

A. 80/100
B. -800/100
C. 80 ÷ (-10)
D. -80 ÷ (-10)
E. –80 - (–10)

Answer 1

B and c

Explanation:

Hey there.

a)80/100=8/10=4/5=0.8 so a is not equivalent

b)-800/100=-8 so b is equivalent

c)80/(-10)=-8 so c is equivalent

d)-80/-10=8 so d is not equivalent

e) -80-(-10)=-80+10=-70 so is not equivalent

Therefore I believe B and C are equivalent.
