It's actually (-9)... think of it as a hot air balloon, the positivies being balloons and the negatives being sandbags or weights.
You have 7 sandbags/weights and add 9 more sandbags/weights, causing u to go lower, therefore, *negative* 9
Hope that helped! :))

-9
If you look at a number line, then if you put your finger on negative 2 and subtract 7, then you will land on -9. Also the equation is the same as -7-2 which equals -9

What is the mass of an object that has a density of 1.3 g/cm3 and a volume

tangare [24]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 2.6 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an object is the ratio between its mass and its volume

The equation of the is d = $\frac{m}{V}$ , where

m is the mass

V is the volume

Let us use this equation to solve the question

∵ An object has a density of 1.3 g/cm³

∴ d = 1.3 g/cm³

∵ Its volume is 2 cm³

∴ V = 2 cm³

→ Substitute them in the equation of the denisty above

∵ 1.3 = $\frac{m}{2}$

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 2 × 1.3 = 2 × $\frac{m}{2}$

∴ 2.6 = m

∴ The mass of the object is 2.6 grams

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 193ml of sucrose and 61ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of

Brilliant_brown [7]

<h3>Answer is the ratio 1000:193:61</h3>

Explanation

1 liter = 1000 mL

For every 1000 mL of water, we need 193 mL of sucrose and 61 mL of saline solution.

The ratio is therefore 1000:193:61

We cannot simplify this ratio any further because the GCF of those three terms is 1.

A quick way to see this is to look at how 1000 = (2*5)^3 has prime factors 2 and 5, but 2 nor 5 are factors of 193 and 61. So only 1 is a factor of all three values 1000, 193, 61
