Since whole numbers are positive integers, then it follows that a positive integer multiplied by 1.2 will be greater than the original by 20%.

I can only use math to explain it. What is 100%?
100% = $\frac{100}{100}$
percent means per 100.
so 120% = 120/100 = 1.2
120% of a whole number. For example 120% * 10 = $\frac{120}{100} * 10$ = 12
is it greater than 10.

Darya [45]

(-14 + 3/2b) - (1 + 8/2b)
= -14 - 1 + 3/2b - 8/2b
= -15 - 5/2b

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

Will an object 20ft below sea level have a different absolute value than an object 20ft above sea level .. explain

trapecia [35]

No, the objects below the sea and above both have the absolute value of 20 ft.

The absolute value is how far the number is away from zero- it doesn't matter if it is in the positive or negative direction

For example, if you drove 20 miles from your house in one direction while your friends drove 20 miles in the other direction- both of the distances of you and your friend from the your house is 20 miles.

Distance is a great example of the absolute value because it is always positive. It doesn't matter what direction, it is always 20 miles from your house.

What is the area of a 45 degree sector of a circle with a radius of 12 in.

Elodia [21]

given ,

a circle of radius 12 inches

and $\theta$ = 45°

now we know that ,

$\\{Area \: of \: sector = \frac{\theta}{360\degree} \times \pi \: r {}^{2} } \\ \\$

let's now plug in the values of radius and theta as 12 inches and 45° respectively ,

$\\\dashrightarrow \: \frac{45}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 12 \times 12 \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{22 \times 12 \times 12}{7} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: \frac{22 \times 12 \times 12}{56} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: \frac{3168}{56} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: 56.57 \: inches {}^{2} (approx.)$
