You have to have the same unit of measure. Here your units are "minutes" and "seconds". In order to compare the two, you must change to 240 seconds into minutes (dividing by 60 = 4 mins) OR change the 5 minutes into seconds (multiply by 60 to give you 300 seconds)
Answer:
A. On the first day, 3 leaves fall.
B. D. The number of leaves that fall on a given day is 2 times the number of leaves that fell on the previous day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a) The meaning of 3.
3 represents the initial number of leaves (i.e. the first day) and this proved as follows.
On the first day, n = 0.
Substitute 0 for n in 



Solving (b) The meaning of 2.
2 represents the rate which leaves fall down.
In (a)

Take n = 1
Substitute 1 for n in 



When f(1) is divided by f(0), the result 2. So, the number of leaves doubles everyday
A). |x| = |-x|
This is always true.
The definition of 'absolute' value is 'size of the number without its sign'.
That's what this expression says.
b). |x| = -|x|
This is never true, because an absolute value is never negative.
This one would true if x=0 . So maybe some people might say
it's sometimes true, but that doesn't feel right to me. I say never.
c). |-x| = -|x|
This looks to me like exactly the same situation as (b),
and I would say all the same things about it.
X<=-5 is what it looks like to me
