It’s 7 because you round it
0.5=5/10=5/2•5
5/2•5/5=1/2
0.5=1/2
Well set it up first. You get: 8.2-(-3.5) so what you do is that you first subtract 8.2-3.5=4.7. Then you want to find out weather it is negative or positive. First point out which one is bigger in this case 8.2 is bigger and a positive so your answer would be positive. Answer: +8.2 or 8.2
