You are correct in saying that 5/8 times -64 is -40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this 5/8 of -64? if so it balances

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but how can i prove that its right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 64 / -8 = -8 and 5 * -8 = -40

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

5/8(-64) (5/8)(-64/1) -(5*64)/(8*1) -(320)/(8) -40
