Two and three-fifths of a number equals −26 . What is the number?

Correct answer: B. -10

  • A. -15
  • B. -10
  • C. -5
  • D. 10

Explanation

To solve the equation 2 ⅗ * n = -26, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 13/5 * n = -26. By substituting -10 into the equation, we get 13/5 * -10 = -26, which satisfies the equation. Hence, Option B is correct. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result in -26 when substituted into the equation.
