What is the quotient of 5 1/2 ÷ 3/8?

14 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easiest to convert 5 1/2 to the improper fraction 11/2.

Then the problem calls for dividing 11/2 by 3/8, which, in turn, is equivalent to

the product of 11/2 and 8/3:

 11      8

* = 88/6 or 44/3 or 14 2/3

  2      3

Optionally you could convert to mixed decimal fractions:

5.5

= 14 2/3 (same as before)

0.375

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes. 

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
