Here's an example: If you have -9 and it asks for the absolute value of it, it means the opposite. The absolute value of -9 is positive 9.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an awful question. They mean to say the number of hours practicing <em>per week</em> (we'll call it h) varies inversely with the <em>time</em> (t) she runs her event. Unless they mean to imply more practicing makes Tyler slower, in which case she should just get a pizza.
Inverse variation means the product is a constant, we'll call it k.
ht = k
When h = 1 hour t=6 minutes
(1)(6) = k
k = 6 (hour*minutes, but as long as we're consistent we don't need to sweat the unit.)
Decreasing her time by one minute means t = 6 - 1 = 5. We solve for h.
ht = k
h = k/t = 6/5 = 1.2 hours
Answer: 1.2 hours, second choice
Always to do each to 1 sigfig 20-6=14
When the 10 is to a negative power you move the decimal to the left. in this case its 5 spots. i believe your answer is .00005003
