Easy. 8 hats because no one likes hats anymore.
Each pair of numbers gives a value then another value that is 1/2 of the first. So the answer would be
6 = 3
Just by simply adding the two quantities you can get the net change. $67.12 +(addition sign because we want the net change) $2.56= $69.68. The last number is the net change!
40 is greater because we can easily see that 1/4 is not a whole number that is less than 40 and the 40/14 will be changed into a lesser mixed number which again, is less than 40.
A negative sign and a negative sign next to each other is a positive sign ex..
-14 - -3
= -14 + 3
= -11
a negative sign and a positive sign next to each other is a positive sign ex..
-14 + -3
= -14 - 3
= -17
the bigger a negative number the smaller it is
the bigger a positive number the larger it is
which supports the rule if you are subtracting the
number will become smaller and if you are adding
the number will become larger
