5-7 is your question.
When you have a negative and a positive number and you are adding them, the negative number is going to be diminished by how many positive numbers you have. If we find the absolute value of both numbers and then subtract them we will get a smaller number.
The absolute value of -7 is 7.
The absolute value of 5 is 5.
So now we will subtract 5 from 7 and we get 2.
To find out if it is negative or positive we look at the absolute values of our original numbers.
Which one is greater? 7 or 5?
7 is the greater number.
7 was originally a negative.
Since this had the greatest absolute value we use this numbers original sign. Which is negative.
So your final answer is B. -2.

There are two different maps of ohio. The scale on the first map is 1 cm to 10 km. The distance from cleveland to clncinnati is

Ivanshal [37]

1. To answer this question we must keep on mind that we already have the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati.

2. They tell us that it is 40 centimeters on the first map.

3. If on the first map $1cm = 10km$ then:

$40cm = 10km * 40 = 400km$

4. Then the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati is 400 kilometers.

5. On the second map $1cm = 50km$

6. Then we want to know how many centimeters represents 400 kilometers on the second map. Therefore:

$400/50= 8$

The answer is: 8 centimeters.

The actual distance between parks is 24 miles On a map these parks are 8 inches apart How many miles are equal to one inch on th

vaieri [72.5K]

Each inch in the map is equivalent to 8 miles.

Explanation:

There is a distance of 24 miles between two parks. This 24 miles is represented by an 8-inch gap in the map.

So 8 inches on that particular map = 24 miles in real life.

To find the distance that an inch on the map represents we must divide both sides of the above equation. Since we need to calculate how much distance 1 inch represents we divide both the sides by 8 so that 8 inches on the map changes into 1 inch.

$\frac{8}{8}$ inches on the map = $\frac{24}{8}$ miles between the two parks in real life,
