Answer: Leticia won the first round

==============================================================

Your teacher is basically asking "which value is further from zero on the number line?". The value -19 is 19 units away from zero; while 21 is 21 units away from zero.

See the attached image below. Each "space" is a distance of 1

Absolute value measures distance along the number line. Distance is never negative. In terms of notation, you would say

|-19| = 19 and |21| = 21

The outputs 19 and 21 are then compared. We see that 21 is larger, so therefore, Leticia has the higher score and she won the first round.

HURRY !!! Farmer McHenry is going to sell his tomatoes at the farmer's market. It costs Farmer McHenry $2.50 in gas, $1 for the
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost that farmer McHenry assumes to sell his tomatoes at the farmer´s market includes: the gas, the stand and the price tags. The expression is the following:

Total cost = $2,50 + $1 + $0.50

Total cost = $4

Farmer McHenry's revenue depends on the number of tomatoes he sells:

Revenue (t)= Price* t

Revenue (t)= $0.50(t)

To know how many tomatoes, he must sell so that the cost equals his revenue, you must equal both expressions and then find t:

$4=$0.50 (t)

t= $4/$0.50

t= 8  

He must sell 8 tomatoes.
