To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the 7/8 cups of sugar by 1/2.

7/8 * 1/2 = (7 * 1) / (8 * 2) = 7/16 cups

Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar.

To find the fraction of campers who play the guitar, we need to multiply the fraction of campers who play an instrument (1/3) by the fraction of those campers who play the guitar (2/5).

(1/3) * (2/5) = 2/15

Therefore, 2/15 of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play the guitar.

To calculate the number of apples that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to find the quantity of apples that Sara discarded and subtract that from the total number of apples she picked.

She discarded 1/10 of the 200 apples, which is calculated as:

1/10 * 200 = 20 apples discarded

The number of apples sold as fresh fruit is:

200 - 20 = 180 apples

Therefore, 180 apples were sold as fresh fruit.

To calculate the total area of Oak Manor, we need to multiply the length (3.8 miles) by the width (4.2 miles).

Area = length x width

Area = 3.8 miles * 4.2 miles

Area = 15.96 square miles

Therefore, the total area of Oak Manor is 15.96 mi^2.

To find out how tall the son is, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player (623 feet) by 1/4.

Height of the son = 623 feet * 1/4

Height of the son = 155.75 feet

Therefore, the son is 155.75 feet tall.

To find out how tall the son is, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player (6 2/3 feet) by 1/4.

First, we need to convert 6 2/3 to an improper fraction: 6 2/3 = (6 * 3 + 2)/3 = 20/3

Now we can calculate the height of the son:

Height of the son = (20/3) * 1/4

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

Height of the son = (20 * 1) / (3 * 4) = 20/12

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

Height of the son = 5/3

Therefore, the son is 5/3 feet tall.

To find the diver's depth after 5 minutes, we can use the expression -8(5), which represents the rate of descent (-8 m/min) multiplied by the time in minutes (5).

So, the expression -8(5) can be used to find her depth after 5 minutes.

The expression -8/5, on the other hand, represents a negative rate of descent (-8 m/min) divided by the time in minutes (5). This doesn't represent the total depth after 5 minutes, so it cannot be used to find her depth after 5 minutes.

Therefore, the expression -8/5 cannot be used to find her depth after 5 minutes.
