First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite numbers are the same distance from 0 on the number line, but in opposite directions. Steps I would follow:

first, check the directions to make sure they are opposite,

then read the digits, or count the tick marks or compare lengths with dividers or ruler or marks on a piece of paper to see if the distances are the same.

3 is not the opposite of -6

Therefore 6 is the opposite of -6
