16/8 would be classified as a/an?
A:whole number
B:integer
C:Rational Number

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.

what is the answer?

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
