Question

1. select all the expressions that are equivalent to - 8.

c - 2cdot(-6)=
d - 2-(-6)=

1. a) describe a real - world situation that can be represented by the product (8)(-20). then find the product and explain what the product means in terms of the real - world situation.

b) describe a real - world situation that can be represented by the quotient - 50÷5. then find the quotient and explain what the quotient means in terms of the real - world situation.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate product in 18.a

$(8)( - 20)=-160$

Step2: Calculate quotient in 18.b

$-50\div5=-10$

Answer:

18.a: Product is - 160. Real - world: Owning 8 debts of $20 each means owing $160.
18.b: Quotient is - 10. Real - world: Sharing $50 debt among 5 people means each owes $10.
