OpenStudy (nincompoop):

wow lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/6 = 0.16 -24 / 0.16 = ? is that what you mean?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

no

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

-24 divided by 1 over 6. 1/6 is basically division, so you divide 1 and 6. You get 0.16 (6 is repeated) so you can round to 0.17 -24 divided by 0.17 = -141.176 OR -1.41.18 Its my guess, I'm not very good at this.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I might be wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what calculators are used for :P

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

ye you're wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there answer choices?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

i really don't think i can answer this. Good luck anyways. Bye :p

OpenStudy (invinceble):

AMY ur awesome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah there are answer choices... 144 –144 4 –4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dangitt that does not look right let me try again...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow the anwer is -24 times 6 which is -144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would go with b, because -24 divided by 1/6=-144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-24 / (1 / 6) = -144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for division you multiply by the reciprocal so basically flipp it upside down and then multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am I not supposed to make -24 a fraction? -24/1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if that;s what your learning, but i never did that. i always convert the fraction into a decimal, and then to what it says. it's the fastest way, as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I learned it both ways for some reason thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyway, I'll fan everyone who answered but will medal the first CORRECT answer. Is that alright?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ANYONE THERE??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I fanned everyone with answers. Now I'm going to close the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup thats alright :D

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

\[ -\frac{24}{1} = -24 \\ -\frac{24}{1} \div \frac{1}{6} \rightarrow -\frac{24}{1} \times \frac{6}{1} \]
