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".

jeyben [28]

Answer:

x= 13/22

Step-by-step explanation:

you can substitute y= 34 x on the second equation

34x = -54x +52  add 54x to both sides

34x +54x  = -54x +54x +52

88x = 52  divide both side by 4

22x = 13  divide both sides by 22

x= 13/22

You buy tomato sauce for $0.37 per ounce. One portion of potato gnocchi requires 2 ounces of tomato sauce. How much does the sau
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

$0.74 = 74 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one ounce of tomato = $0.37

1 portion of potato gnocchi requires 2 ounces of tomato sauce.

To find the cost of one portion of the potato gnocchi, we have to simply find the cost of 2 ounces of tomato sauce.

That is:

Cost = 2 * 0.37 = $0.74

Hence, one portion of potato gnocchi costs $0.74

Since $1 = 100 cents, the cost in cents will be:

0.74 * 100 = 74 cents
