Yes that is true because -3=3 so -3 is less
The correct answer is 720 I did this problem long time ago hope this helps :)
The absolute value of 9.8 is 9.8, and the absolute value of - 10/3 is 10/3
The Absolute value of a number is always positive.
Let's call the angles x and y. We know that supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees, so x+y=180.
Furthermore, we know that x is 75% more than 2y. We can write "75% more than" numerically as 1.75, so x = 1.75(2y).
We can simplify the second equation by multiplying 1.75 and 2 together to get x = 3.5y.
Now we can solve the system of equations by substitution by plugging 3.5y in for x in x+y=180.
(3.5y) + y = 180
Combine like terms.
4.5y = 180
Divide by 4.5
y = 40
Plug y = 40 in and solve for x.
x + 40 = 180
x = 140
The answer is 40 and 140. Hope this helps :)
Our final answer must represent "number of mosquitos." This verifies that the correct calculation would be
1000 mosquitos 10.5 hours
----------------------- x --------------------
1 hour 1
Multiply this out. Note that "hours" will cancel.
Whats your result?
Supposing that your result looked like xxxxx times 10^0,
you'd convert this into scientific notation by moving the decimal place four units to the left (obtaining x.xxx) and then increasing the exponent of 10 from zero to four (obtaining 10^4).
Then your answer would have the form x.xxx times 10^4 (mosquitos)
