Evaluate 4|-2| - |-3|

1 answer:

5 0

As we know these two lines mean | | a modulus sign. The modulus symbol is sometimes used in conjunction with inequalities. A modulus sign in simple words just ignores the sign and gives us the absolute value.

For example in this case the modulus gives us 4 x 2 - 3. As you can see the modulus sign has ignored the original negative signs with the numbers.

So after evaluating the equation the answer comes out to be 8 - 3 which is equal to 5.

Add 3/7 + 8/9 . Simplify the answer and write as a mixed number

Fudgin [204]

You will get both of the fractions over the same denominator, so it will be 27/63 and 56/63, then you will add the two numerators, so it will then come out to 83/63, and you will then simplify that by subtracting 63 from 83, and will get 1 20/63

Which of the following can be represented by the expression 2 ➗ (1/3)? a. Faye has 2 yards of twine and uses (1/3) yard to tie a

GREYUIT [131]

Answer: C. She is dividing the entire length into shorter lengths.

The rest of the question would be "How many pieces will she get?"

Step-by-step explanation:

A would be a subtraction problem UNLESS it goes on to ask "how many 1/3 yard pieces can she cut?"

It's a subtraction problem if it's about "how many yards are left?"

B is just backwards and makes no sense with the expression given.
