Answer:

Rita made the 1 negative and the 8 positive

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

3+(-8)+1

eliminate the parenthesis

3+(-8)+1=3-8+1=-4 ----> in the expression the 1 is positive and the 8 is negative

Rita made the 1 negative and the 8 positive

The original sum has (+3) + (-8) + (+1), whereas in her rewritten version, the 1 is negative and the 8 is positive, which is incorrect. If we were answer the first, it would equal -4, but if we were to answer the second, it would equal 10. I hope this helps!

it means RS = XY
YZ = ST
and XZ = RT
Now given that RS = 13 which is equal to XY.
Thus XY is equal to 13.</span>

On a map, the scale shown is 1 inch : 3 miles. If an island is 0.5 square inches on the map, what is the actual area of the isla
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to turn the ratio of 1 : 3 into a fraction

1:3 = 1/3

Next we need to square that fraction

1 x 1 = 1

3 x 3 = 9

Then we turn those numbers into a fraction

1/9

We turn the .5 into a fraction

.5/x

And cross multiply both fraction by each other

1/9 x .5/x

1 x X = X

9 x .5 = 4.5

So

4.5 = X
