You need to add two mixed numerals.
One is positive and one is negative.
To add a positive number and a negative number, first take the absolute value of both, making them both positive. Then subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. Finally, the sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value.
The numbers are -4 5/8 and 2 1/8
Take absolute values:
|-4 5/8| = 4 5/8
|2 1/8| = 2 1/8
Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
4 5/8 - 2 1/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2
The greater absolute value is 4 5/8.
Since the number with the larger absolute value was -4 5/8, a negative number, the answer is negative, -2 1/2
-4 5/8 + 2 1/8 = - 2 1/2
Answer: 5% approximately
Step-by-step explanation:
Jen earns $35,650 a year working for an electronics supplier and pays $1,749.80 in state income tax each year. To calculate the income tax rate, we divide the amount paid as tax by her annual income and then multiply by 100. This will be:
= 1749.80/35650 × 100
= 4.91%
= 5% approximately
The state's tax rate is 5%.
15.1 is close to 14 so then you have 14/7 which approximately = 2
0.25 is rational because it is a terminating (means 'its stops') fraction.
