Question

How do you solve `-7.25 = -3 5/8g`?

Answer 1

`g= color(blue)( 3.05`

Explanation:

`-7.25 = -3 5/8g`

`-3 5/8` is a mixed fraction
`= (-3xx8 + 5)/8`
`= (- 24+5) / 8`
`= -19/8`
Rewriting the expression:

`-7.25 = -19/8g`

`color(blue)( g = (-7.25 xx 8)/-19`

`g= color(blue)(-58/-19 = 3.05`
