Answer 1

Answer:

○ The distance between a and b on the number line is 0.47 units.

Explanation:

The first statement is not true because the distance between a and b on the number line is not 0.47.

Distance between a and b = 5.25 - (-5.72)

                                             = 10.97

• The second statement is true because the sum of a and b is negative:

Sum = a + b

        = -5.72 + 5.25

        = -0.47

• The third statement is true because the quotient of a and -b is:

a ÷ -b

⇒ -5.72 ÷ -5.25

⇒ 1

And the quotient of -a and b is:

-a ÷ b

⇒ -(-5.72) ÷ 5.25

⇒ 1

This shows that the quotients are the same.

• The fourth statement is true because the product of a and -b:

a × -b

⇒ -5.72 × -(5.25)

⇒ 30.03 ,

is positive.
