A number, n, is multiplied by - 5/8. The products is - 0.40 What is the value of n? It would also help if you would explain how you got your answer. Thank you so much for all help.
I'm not sure if those numbers are negatives or thats just a hyphen but:
N(-5/8)=-0.40
Division is always the opposite of multiplication
-0.40/(-5/8)=0.64
N=0.64
