Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of −8.46 and 5.31 means we need to add −8.46+5.31.

We know that,

|-8.46| > |5.31|

It means we subtract 8.46 - 5.31

At hundredth place, 6-1 = 5

At tenths place, 4-3 = 1

At ones place, 8-5 = 3

It would mean that, 8.46 - 5.31 = 3.15

8.46 has a negative sign. It means that the final answer will have negative sign i.e. −8.46+5.31 = -3.15

Hence, the correct option is (a) " Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative".

Suppose you are bending stainless steel wire to make the earring shown below. The
lakkis [162]

Given parameters:

Length of earring hook  = 1.5cm

Length of given wire = 45cm

Dimension of the triangle = 3.2cm, 3.2cm and 2.1cm

Unknown:

Number of earrings that can be made from the wire = ?

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total length of the earring we want to make.

  Total earring length  = Perimeter of earring + length of earring hook

                                      = 3.2 + 3.2 + 2.1 + 1.5  

                                      = 10cm

Now the length of the wire is 45cm,

  Number of earrings  = \frac{45}{10}  = 4.5 earrings

  But this is not reasonable, therefore, we can only forge 4 complete earrings from the given length with 5cm of wire remaining.

The number of earrings that can be made is 4.

I think that it is median since the 5 scores are so close together and the 6th is an outlier (freaky high)
