Answer: |10 - (-8)|
The absolute value is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.
10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive
10 + 8 = 18
If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"
Answer:

Answer:
0.292
Step-by-step explanation:
Combinations can be used to solve the following problem.
We are choosing 5 widgets from 25 = ²⁵C₅
We want to select zero widgets from defective widgets = ⁵C₀
From the 20 non-defective widgets we want to select 5 = ²⁰C₅
So the probability is:
P = ( ⁵C₀ * ²⁰C₅) / ²⁰C₅
P = (1 * 15504) / 53130
= 15504/ 53130
=0.292 ..
Answer:
4 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The requested ratio is ...
tile length : board length = (2/3 ft) : (1/2 yd) = (8 in) : (18 in)
= 8 : 18 = 4 : 9
_____
To make a unitless ratio, both parts must have the same units. Here, we chose to express the lengths in inches. We could have used feet or yards as well. (2/3 ft)×(1 yard)/(3 ft) = 2/9 yd or (1/2 yd)(3 ft/yd) = 3/2 ft. You get the same ratio with any of these:
(2/9 yd) : (1/2 yd) = (4 yd) : (9 yd) = 4 : 9 . . . . . multiply by 18
(2/3 ft) : (3/2 ft) = (4 ft) : (9 ft) = 4 : 9 . . . . . multiply by 6
