On a number line what is the distance between −61.5 and -23.4

1 answer:

7 0

In order to find the distance between -61.5 and -23.4 on the number line, you just have to subtract either the greater value to lesser value or lesser value to the greater value. It doesn't matter when you get a negative difference because the distance should be the absolute value of the difference of two points on a number line.
Here's how you should do it.
   (-61.5) - (-23.4) = -61.5 + 23.4 = l-38.1l = 38.1
or
   (-23.4) - (-61.5) = -23.4 + 61.5 = l38.1l = 38.1

As you can see above, I tried to subtract the two numbers in different order, and the result is still the same. Just make sure to get the absolute value of the answer because the distance should always be in positive form.

Therefore, the distance between -61.5 and -23.4 is 38.1

Which of the following represents a function?

Iteru [2.4K]

Functions cannot have different values of y for the same value of x. Now let us check each case one at a time.

First Case: For the same value of x=-1, y has two different values of 7 and 1, which is not allowed in a function. Therefore, the first case is not a function.

Second Case: For the same value of x=-1, y has two different values of -5 and 1, which is not allowed in a function. Therefore, the second case is not a function.

Third Case: For the same value of x=3, y has two different values of 2 and 4, which is not allowed in a function. Therefore, third case is not a function.

Fourth Case: In this case no value of x is same. So, this is a function.

A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 yellow marbles, and 10 orange marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the b

Olenka [21]

Probability of anything =

   (number of possible successful outcomes)
divided by
   (total possible number of outcomes) .

There are 36 total marbles in the bag, so there are 36 total
possible outcomes of one draw.

The successful outcomes are all the possible draws that are
not blue. There are 28 of those.

So the probability of a non-blue selection is

   28/36 = 7/9 = 77.8% (rounded)

Area of a 90in 3yd rectangle

Free_Kalibri [48]

Hello,

Converting 90 in to yd, we have:
90in * 1ft/12in * 1yd/3ft = 2.5 yd

Next,
Since A of a rectangle is b*h,
A = 2.5yd * 3yd = 7.5 yd ^2.

Good luck to you!
