Simplify the expression. - | -13 | =

1 answer:

5 0

Since the -13 has the absolute value signs next to it, the 13 becomes a positive, but there is a negative outside the absolute value, and the negative sign and the absolute value sign cancelled previously, so the expressions is now
-13
The absolute value signs cancel out a negative only inside the signs, not outside, so the negative sign in the outside keeps.

Add and subtract rational numbers without common denominators. Show work! 1. 7/4 - 3/2 - 2/5 = 2. - 5/16 + 3/4 + 1/8 = 3. 3/4 -

alukav5142 [94]

$\dfrac{7}{4} - \dfrac{3}{2} - \dfrac{2}{5}$

$= \dfrac{7 \times 5}{4 \times 5} - \dfrac{3 \times 10}{2 \times 10} - \dfrac{2 \times 4}{5 \times 4}$

$= \dfrac{35}{20} - \dfrac{30}{20} - \dfrac{8}{20}$

$= \dfrac{35-30-8}{20}$

$= \dfrac{3}{20}$

---------------------------------------------------------------

$-\dfrac{5}{16} + \dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{1}{8}$

$= -\dfrac{5}{16} + \dfrac{3 \times 4}{4 \times 4} + \dfrac{1 \times 2}{8 \times 2}$

$= -\dfrac{5}{16} + \dfrac{12}{16} + \dfrac{2}{16}$

$= \dfrac{-5+ 12 + 2}{16}$

$= \dfrac{9}{16}$

---------------------------------------------------------------

$\dfrac{3}{4} - \dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{7}{12}$

$= \dfrac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} - \dfrac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} - \dfrac{7}{12}$

$= \dfrac{9}{12} - \dfrac{4}{12} - \dfrac{7}{12}$

$= \dfrac{9 - 4 - 7}{12}$

$= -\dfrac{2}{12}$

$= -\dfrac{1}{6}$

---------------------------------------------------------------

$\dfrac{2}{9} - \dfrac{2}{12} - \dfrac{2}{3}$

$= \dfrac{2}{9} - \dfrac{1}{6} - \dfrac{2}{3}$

$= \dfrac{2 \times 2}{9 \times 2} - \dfrac{1 \times 3}{6 \times 3} - \dfrac{2 \times 6}{3 \times 6}$

$= \dfrac{4}{18} - \dfrac{3}{18} - \dfrac{12}{18}$

$= \dfrac{4 - 3 - 12}{18}$

$= - \dfrac{11}{18}$

Answer:

a. 90 pack

b. $0.27

c. $0.18

d. $0.21

e. 60 pack

Step-by-step explanation:

a. i think the 90 pack container should be having least unit rate per pack,as purchasing in bulk amount the cost of a unit should be reduced to some amount which is must to lure the customer to purchase in bulk amounts.

b. unit price = total cost of container ÷ number of individual units inside it

for 20 pack, unit rate = 5.49÷20 = $0.27

c. for 60 pack, unit rate = 10.97÷60 =$0.18

d. for 90 pack, unit rate = 18.95÷90 =$0.21

e. ∴ the 60 pack container has the least unit rate per pack which is in contrary with our expectation of 90 pack to be lowest expecting bulk order.
