They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.

Absolute value means how many spaces away from zero a point is.

If a point is placed at |-17| then it means the point is either 17 spaces positive or negative.

Also, you might not be talking about graphing and in this case then the absolute value of anything is positive while a number alone is just that number.

Help me Solve 1/6 ÷ 2/6 please

pochemuha

$\frac{1}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{6}$

First, apply this following rule: $a$ ÷ $\frac{b}{x} = a$ × $\frac{c}{b}$
$\frac{1}{6}$ × $\frac{6}{2}$
Second, apply this following rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}$
$\frac{1x6}{6x2}$
Third, multiply 1 × 6 to get 6 and 6 × 2 to get 12.
$\frac{6}{12}$
Fourth, find the GCF of 6 and 12.
Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The GCF is 6.
Fifth, divide the numerator by the GCF.
$6$ ÷ $6 = 1$
Sixth, divide the denominator by the GCF.
$12$ ÷ $6 = 2$
Seventh, collect the new numerator and new denominator.
$\frac{1}{2}$

Answer as fraction: $\frac{1}{2}$
Answer as decimal: 0.5

Suppose GDP is $12 trillion, taxes are $3.6 trillion, private saving is $1.5 trillion, and public saving is $0.8 trillion. Assum

Marianna [84]

Assuming this economy is closed: Consumption $6.9 trillion; Government Purchases $11.2 trillion; National Saving $2.3 trillion; Investment $2.3 trillion.

<h3>Gross domestic product</h3>

a. Consumption

Private S = ( Y – T – C )

C = Y - T - Private S

C = $12 - $3.6 - $1.5 =$6.9 trillion

b. Government purchases

Public S = ( T - G )

G = T - Public S

G = $12 - $0.8

G = $11.2 trillion

c and d. National saving and investment

National savings = Public S + Private S

National savings = $0.8 + $1.5

National savings =$2.3 trillion

Investment=Savings=$2.3 trillion

Therefore, Consumption $6.9 trillion; Government Purchases $11.2 trillion; National Saving $2.3 trillion; Investment $2.3 trillion.
