To solve each question, all you've got to do is add the two numbers together and then graph the result on the number line.
1.) -3 +(-1.5)
Add 3 to -1.5. It would be the same as subtracting 1.5 from -3(-3 - 1.5)
Final Answer: -4.5<span>
Or, since you are using a number line, start on -3 and go left 1.5 units and you will land on the -4.5 point. You go to the left because you are adding a negative number..
</span>
2.) 1.5+3.5
Add<span>
Final Answer: 5
</span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on 1.5 and go to the right 3.5 and you will land on 5. You go to the right because you are adding a positive number.<span>
</span>3.) 1/4 + 1/2
Multiply 1/2 by 2 to make both fractions have the same denominator
1/4 + 2/4
Add<span>
Final Answer: 3/4
</span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on 1/4 and go up 2/4 and you will land on 3/4 as the result.<span>
</span>4.) -1 1/2 + (-1 1/2)
Add -1 1/2 to -1 1/2. This would be the same as subtracting 1 1/2 from -1 1/2(-1 1/2 - 1 1/2)<span>
Final Answer: -3
</span><span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on -1 1/2 and go to the left 1 1/2 and you will land on the -3 point.</span>
PART A
Change the fractions into improper fractions
pablo - rosa = 4 4/9 - 3 5/12
pablo - rosa = 40/9 - 41/12
Equalize the denominator of the fractions
I equalize them to 36. If the denominator 9 is multiplied by 4, so is the numerator. If the denominator 12 is multiplied by 3, so is the numerator.
pablo - rosa = 40/9 - 41/12
pablo - rosa = (40 × 4)/(9 × 4) - (41 × 3)/(12 × 3)
pablo - rosa = 160/36 - 123/36
pablo - rosa = 37/36
Change it to mixed fraction
pablo - rosa = 37/36
pablo - rosa = 1 1/36
Pablo has 1 1/36 quarts more than Rosa
PART B
Calculate the iced tea Pablo gave to Rosa
Change into proper fraction/improper fraction
iced tea given = 15% × 4 4/9
iced tea given = 15/100 × 40/9
iced tea given = 600/900
iced tea given = 2/3
Calculate Pablo's iced tea after giving
Pablo's = 40/9 - 2/3
Pablo's = 40/9 - (2 × 3)/(3×3)
Pablo's = 40/9 - 6/9
Pablo's = 34/9
Pablo's = 3 7/9
Calculate Rosa's iced tea
Rosa's = 41/12 + 2/3
Rosa's = 41/12 + (2 × 4)/(3 × 4)
Rosa's = 41/12 + 8/12
Rosa's = 49/12
Rosa's = 4 1/12
Pablo has 3 7/9 quarts and Rosa has 4 1/12 quarts
