Answer:

Tim, because each point is fraction 3 over 8 unit away from 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number can be defined by the distance from that point to the origin.

That said, for every number of the number line there is another whose distance to the origin is the same. it is a number with the same module and different sign, what we know as the opposite

In this case P= -3/8 = -Q and modP =mod-P=modQ + mod -Q = 3/8

Answer: Choice B) Tim is correct.
Each point is 3/8 of a unit away from 0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The point 3/8 is 3/8 of a unit away from 0
The point -3/8 is also 3/8 of a unit away from 0
The absolute value of a negative number is simply the positive version of that number. So |-3/8| = 3/8. Negative distances do not make sense which is why this happens.

He tax rates are as shown. nevada mining currently has taxable income of $97,800. how much additional tax will the firm owe if t

Sindrei [870]

<span>Although there is a bit of information missing, I can answer this question in a general sense. If taxable income is $97,800, then the tax liability is $97,800 * (Tax Rate). For example, if the tax rate is %15 then the tax liability will be $97,800 * .15 = $14,670. If taxable income increases by $21,000, then the additional tax liability in addition to the $14,670 reported earlier will be $21,00 * .15 = $3,150. Please substitute whatever tax rate is given in the original problem wherever i stated .15 or %15. This is just an arbitrary number I used because the information was missing from the problem.</span>

Four friends hosted a Graduation party: Genesis spent $21 for drinks, Mya spent $25 for food, Alina spent $16 for invitations, a

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Alina owes $4 to Mya and Mylana owes $1 to Mya and $1 to Genesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

As they want to share the party expenses equally, first you have to add all the expenses and divide them by 4 people to know the amount that each person has to pay:

$21+$25+$16+$18= $80/4= $20

As everyone has to pay $20 for the party expenses, we can see that Genesis spent $1 more and Mya $5 more, so they have to get the money back from the other 2 people.

Alina owes: $20-$16= $4. She owes $4 to Mya as she will pay the entire amount she owes to one person and Mya has to get $5 back.

Mylana owes: $20-$18= $2. She would have to pay $1 to Mya to complete the $5 she had to get back and $1 to Genesis.
