An ice sculpture is melting because of heat. Assuming its height changes by negative 2 over 25 m every hour, what will be the change in the height after 5 hours? negative 2 over 5 meter negative 2 over 125 meter 2 over 125 meter 2 over 5 meter

Answer:

[tex] \frac{ - 2}{25} \times 5[/tex]

first you multiply 2 by 5. Then you get 10 over 25. Then you simplify it. What is the common factor of both 10 and 25? Is it 2? No 2 is a factor of 10 but not 25. It's 5. After you get the common factor you divide both numbers by it. So 10/5 would be 2. 25 divide by 5 would be 5. And the negative sign remains

-2/25 x 5/1 = -10/25 = -2/5

hope this helps :}
