Double negative means a positive. Therefore, the equation is (5/8)+(7/8), which should equal 1.5, or 3/2, or 1 and 1/2.

5/8-(-7/8)
you multiply what is in the brackets by the negative sign.
5/8+7/8 (it is important to note that 2 negatives make a positive)
5/8+7/8=12/8
12/8=6/4
6/4=3/2
3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2

hope this helps :)

Lee wants to collect 22 of a certain type of action figure. He had 11 of the figures, then got 3 more for his birthday. What dec
Shalnov [3]

To solve this problem, we must first find the fraction of action figures that Lee has gotten so far.  To do this, we will represent the number of action figures that Lee currently has in the numerator divided by the denominator, the total number of action figures that Lee is attempting to collect.

First, we must recognize that Lee currently has 11 action figures plus the 3 that he got for his birthday.  To find the total number of action figures that Lee has, we must add together these two parts.  

11+3 = 14

Therefore, Lee has 14 action figures (this will become the numerator of the fraction).  The denominator of the fraction is the total number of action figures, which we are given is 22.

Thus, our fraction is 14/22.

To convert this into a decimal, we can simply divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator of the fraction, which gives us:

14/22 = 0.636363636

Therefore, your answer is approximately 0.636.

Hope this helps!
