: Hello I am trying to assist my daughter with her homework and we are a bit stupped. They would like us to solve each equation 4 1/2s=-30
I suggested that she does 4 1/2s (4 2/1s) = (-30) 4 2/1s but I we don't come up with the right answer
I have the teachers edition also - and don't see any examples that could help us. Thanks in advance.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4 1/2s=-30
(9/2)s=-30
Multiply both sides by (2/9) to get:
s=-30(2/9)
s=-10(2/3)
s=-20/3 = -6 2/3
