Below are different ways students tried to start this problem. Which is correct? (- 10) * (½) * (- 8)

A) (½) * - 8 = - ( - 8/16 )

B) (-10) * (½) = 5

C) -10 * (- 8) = 80

D) -8 * 2 = - 16

C) -10 * (- 8) = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

(- 10) * (½) * (- 8)

Checking all the options

A) (½) * - 8 = - ( - 8/16 )

1/2 * - 8

= -8/2

= -4

(½) * - 8 = -4

(½) * - 8 = - ( - 8/16 ) Wrong

B) (-10) * (½) = 5

-10 * 1/2

= -10/2

= -5

(-10) * (½) = -5

(-10) * (½) = 5 Wrong

C) -10 * (- 8) = 80

-10 * (- 8)

= -10 × - 8

= + 80

-10 * (- 8) = 80 Correct

D) -8 * 2 = - 16

-8 * 2

= -16 correct but we don't have 2 in the expression so, it is wrong

The correct way to start solving the problem is C) -10 * (- 8) = 80

(- 10) * (½) * (- 8)

-10 * (- 8) = 80

80 * 1/2 = 80 / 2

= 40

answer: the first one

step-by-step explanation: use a calculator and divide the minutes by the dollars.

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %
