Well if it is right then k12 doesn't have it as an answer choice
pooja195 (pooja195):
Is -19/8 a choice?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
pooja195 (pooja195):
That is the correct answer then i cant think of another way to get another answer
Since its a negative fraction you would subtract the 3 i think
so -8 x 2= -16-3=-19/8 <---denominator stays the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
should I put -19/8?
