Answer: -11
Step-by-step explanation:
+(-8) can be simplified to -8 because when you multiply a positive sign by a negative sign, the outcome is a negative sign. So your problem is -3-8= and the answer is -11 because when two numbers with the same sign are subtracted/added by each other, the numbers just get added and the sign stays the same. If you're still confused, use a number line. Hope this helps!
Method OneYour calculator might be able to do this. Mine does it like this.
6
nCr
2
=
15
Method 2You could simply set up 6C2
This gives you
Method ThreeYou only have to do this a couple of times to see how the cancellation works.

After all the cancellation takes place you have
6*5/2 = 15
Flour: 2 3/4 cups = 11/4
11/4 * 2 = 22/4 = 5 2/4 cups
Sugar: 1 1/2 cups = 3/2
3/2 = 6/4 = 1 2/4 cups
1 2/4 * 2 = 3 cups
So it *should* be 8 1/2 cups.
