Multiply −116 by 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.(1
−116 multiplied by 7 is equal to −812.

To write the answer as a mixed number, we divide −812 by 7:

−812 ÷ 7 = −116 remainder 4

Therefore, the answer is −116 4/7.
Of the cars in a used-car lot, 25 are the color gray. 13 of the gray cars are electrically powered vehicles. What fraction of the cars on the lot are both gray and electrically powered? Leave your answer in simplified fraction form.(1 point)
To find the fraction of cars that are both gray and electrically powered, we need to divide the number of cars that are both gray and electrically powered by the total number of cars on the lot.

The number of cars that are both gray and electrically powered is 13.
The total number of cars on the lot is 25.

Therefore, the fraction of cars that are both gray and electrically powered is 13/25.
Lake Profondo has a depth of 84 feet. Lake Segundo is 56 as deep. What is the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo? (Remember, the elevation is below sea level. Account for this in your answer.)(1 point)
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo, we need to subtract the depth of Lake Segundo from sea level.

Sea level is typically considered to be 0 feet.

So, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is:
0 feet - 56 feet = -56 feet.

Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Segundo is -56 feet below sea level.

To convert 4.65 to a fraction, we can write 4.65 as a fraction over 1.

4.65 = 4.65/1

To simplify this fraction, we need to get rid of the decimal.

Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 100, we get:

4.65/1 * 100/100 = 465/100

The fraction 465/100 is already simplified, so the answer is:

To convert 2716 to a decimal using long division:

2716
____________
4 | 2716.000

We start by dividing 4 into 27, which gives us 6 as the quotient:

2716
--> 24
------
7

Next, we bring down the next digit (1) and divide 4 into 71, which gives us 17 as the next digit of the quotient:

2716
--> 248
--------
71
- 68
--------

We bring down the next digit (6) and divide 4 into 36, which gives us 9 as the next digit of the quotient:

2716
--> 2486
--------
719
- 716
--------
33

Finally, we bring down the last digit (6) and divide 4 into 336, which gives us 84 as the next digit of the quotient:

2716
--> 24864
--------
7196
- 7160
---------
336
- 336

0

Since there is no remainder and the process has ended, the quotient is the decimal representation of 2716.

Therefore, the decimal representation of 2716 is 2.716.

I apologize for the confusion, but it seems there has been an error in the responses provided.

To convert 6715 to a decimal using long division:

6715
____________

We start by dividing 1 into 6, which gives us 6 as the quotient:

6715

Next, we bring down the next digit (7) and divide 1 into 17, which gives us 17 as the next digit of the quotient:

6715
--> 67
------

0

Finally, we bring down the last digit (5), but since it is 0, the division process ends.

Since there is no remainder and the process has ended, the quotient is the decimal representation of 6715.

Therefore, the decimal representation of 6715 is 6,715.
A pilot is flying an airplane. Due to strong winds, the pilot decides to fly 4,000 feet lower to avoid excessive turbulence. It takes the pilot 3.5 minutes to make this adjustment. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the plane’s altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth, and remember the plane is descending.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the plane’s altitude is
feet/minute.
To find the rate of change in the plane's altitude, we need to divide the change in altitude by the time taken.

The change in altitude is 4,000 feet (since the pilot decided to fly 4,000 feet lower).

The time taken is 3.5 minutes.

To find the rate of change, we divide the change in altitude by the time taken:

Rate of change = Change in altitude / Time taken = 4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes

Calculating this, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is approximately 1142.86 feet/minute (rounded to the nearest hundredth).

Therefore, the quotient that best represents the rate of change in the plane's altitude is 1142.86 feet/minute.

To find the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute, we need to divide the change in water (250 gallons) by the time taken (5 minutes).

The change in water is 250 gallons.

The time taken is 5 minutes.

To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we divide the change in water by the time taken:

Change in water per minute = Change in water / Time taken = 250 gallons / 5 minutes

Calculating this, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.

Therefore, the correct response is 50 gallons.

To solve the expression (-4) × (75) × (-34) ÷ (715), we can perform the operations step by step:

First, we multiply -4 and 75: (-4) × (75) = -300.

Next, we multiply -300 and -34: -300 × (-34) = 10200.

Finally, we divide 10200 by 715: 10200 ÷ 715 = 14.25.

Since the original expression involves negative numbers, the final result is negative.

Therefore, the correct response is -14.25.
Solve the following word problem. A fish is swimming at −10.8 meters, or 10.8 meters below sea level. Every 2 minutes it descends another 1.5 meters. How long will it take for the fish to reach a depth of −37.8 meters? Show your work and write a sentence to explain what your answer means.(4 points)
To find out how long it will take for the fish to reach a depth of -37.8 meters, we need to calculate the number of 2-minute intervals needed for the fish to descend from -10.8 meters to -37.8 meters.

The difference in depth from the starting depth to the target depth is calculated as:

-37.8 meters - (-10.8 meters) = -37.8 meters + 10.8 meters = -27 meters

Next, we need to calculate the number of 2-minute intervals needed to descend 27 meters, with the fish descending 1.5 meters every 2 minutes:

27 meters ÷ 1.5 meters = 18

Therefore, it will take the fish 18 intervals of 2 minutes each to reach a depth of -37.8 meters.

In total, the fish will take 18 x 2 = 36 minutes to reach the depth of -37.8 meters.

This means that after 36 minutes of descending at a rate of 1.5 meters every 2 minutes, the fish will reach a depth of -37.8 meters.
