You need to add two mixed numerals.
One is positive and one is negative.
To add a positive number and a negative number, first take the absolute value of both, making them both positive. Then subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. Finally, the sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value.
The numbers are -4 5/8 and 2 1/8
Take absolute values:
|-4 5/8| = 4 5/8
|2 1/8| = 2 1/8
Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
4 5/8 - 2 1/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2
The greater absolute value is 4 5/8.
Since the number with the larger absolute value was -4 5/8, a negative number, the answer is negative, -2 1/2
-4 5/8 + 2 1/8 = - 2 1/2
Answer:
b) in the fourth round, there was one team left in the tournament.
c) no because with only one team left, the tournament ends.
You can get the different results for the same equation if one of the results is a variable. This is because, in this problem, x=12.
answer:
6
step-by-step explanation:
- for this you would find the volume and then divide by 1/2
v = l x w x h
v = (1)(2)(3/2)
v = 3
3 ÷ 1/2 = 6
- therefore, it will take 6 half cubes to fill up the container
