Answer 5

yes i guess

Answer 6

you need to see that

\[-\frac{ 16 }{ 24 }\div \frac{ 8 }{ 8 }=-\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\]

and that \[-\frac{ 16 }{ 24 }\times \frac{ 2 }{ 2 }=-\frac{ 32 }{ 48 }\]

Answer 7

Answer 8

2*8= 16 and 4*6=24

Answer 10

Answer 11

well you did get the first equation right but what x 8 = 24

because if you want to find what the fraction is equivalent to you have to do the same to the top and the bottom so divide them both by 8 and you will get one answer
