1. (6/7) is a fraction that is slightly less than 1. The only sensible (and correct) choice is 0.857

2. Either your calculator or your knowledge of the factors of 144 should tell you

144/-8 = - 18

3. Assuming you intend - 3· (9·y), you multiply the constants to get the simplified coefficient of y: - 27y

4. The n-th term is (n-1) ², so the 10th term is 9² = 81
