Answer:

D No, the integer with the larger absolute value always determines the sign of the sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the integer you start with is +3. Adding -1 or -2 or -3 to that will result in 2, 1, or 0, none of which are negative. Only when you add a negative number with an absolute value greater than 3 will you get a sum that is negative. That is, <em>the number in the sum that has the largest absolute value determines the sign of the result</em>. (This is most important when the signs differ, but it is also true when the signs are the same.)

The perimeter of a square is 4/5 what is its area

34kurt

Answer:

1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

square has 4 sides, if you add them all up you get 4/5.

1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5=4/5

Mr. Brown shares with the class that 70% of the students got an A on the English vocabulary quiz. If Mr. Brown has 100 students,

mezya [45]

Answer:

a. $\frac{70}{100}$

b. 0.7

c. 0.7=70%= $\frac{70}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

70% of 100 received an A, that is 70/100 times 100 equal to 70

$\frac{70}{100}*100=70$

a. 70% = $\frac{70}{100}$

b. $\frac{70}{100}$ = 0.7

Notice that 70/100 is equal to 7/10 which is 0.7

c. 0.7=70%= $\frac{70}{100}$

Answer:

EF = HG and EF || HG

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is a polygon shape with four sides and four angles.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The following are properties of a parallelogram:

Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
Opposite angles are equal to each other.
Consecutive angles are supplementary
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

If Quadrilateral EFGH with diagonals EG and HF is a parallelogram then EF = HG and EF || HG

what is the probability of drawing two blue cards if the first card is not included in the second draw? simplify your answer com

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

5/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards is 8

There are 5 blue cards

P(1st card is blue) = blue/total = 5/8

We take away a blue card

The total number of cards is 7

There are 4 blue cards

P(2nd card is blue) = blue/total = 4/7

The probability of blue blue is P(blue blue ) =

P(1st card is blue)*P(2nd card is blue) =

5/8* 4/7

20/56

We can divide the top and bottom by 4
