An integer is close to zero if it is "small".

By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance $d$ , there are two integers that are $d$ units away from zero: $d$ and $-d$ .

So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.

So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.

$\huge\boxed{a=\frac{229}{2};\ \ b=\frac{51}{2}}$

<em>In decimal form, a = 114.5; b = 25.5</em>

We will write this as a system of equations, where $a$ and $b$ are the two angles.

$\left \{ {{a=5b-13} \atop {a+b=140}} \right$

We will use substitution to solve this system. We know what $a$ equals, so we plug that into the second equation.

$5b-13+b=140$

Combine the like terms.

$6b-13=140$

Add $13$ on both sides.

$6b=153$

Divide both sides by $6$ .

$b=\frac{153}{6}=\boxed{\frac{51}{2}}$

Now just subtract that from $140$ .

$a=140-\frac{51}{2}=\boxed{\frac{229}{2}}$

The change, from the predicted data to the actual data, in the average number of downloads of the application for Company A from the day the application was launched to 4 days after the application was launched would decrease by approximately 244 downloads per day.

The change, from the predicted data to the actual data, in the average number of downloads of the application for Company B from the day the application was launched to 4 days after the application was launched would increase by approximately 174 downloads per day.

Based on this information, Company B made a more accurate prediction of the average number of downloads of the application per day.

Answer:

15.05 miles

2 :09:12

5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

28/4/18:

Time : 1 :03 : 25

Fastest mile = 02 : 25

Distance = 15.05 miles

03/5/18:

Time : 2:06: 41

Fastest mile = 02 : 53

Distance = 28.70 miles

08/5/18:

Time : 2 :09:12

Fastest mile = 02 : 45

Distance = 26.39 miles2

1.) shortest distance cycled :

From the data:

15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70

Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles

The longest the cycled:

1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12

Longest = 2 :09:12

Total cycling time :

1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12

(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs

(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes

(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds

18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes

Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds
