Answer:

\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Number Line</u>

Let's call

\displaystyle A=-4\frac{1}{2}

\displaystyle B=+3\frac{1}{4}

Both numbers are given as mixed fractions. Let's convert them to improper fractions:

\displaystyle A=-4\frac{1}{2}=-(4+\frac{1}{2})=-\frac{8+1}{2}=-\frac{9}{2}

\displaystyle B=3\frac{1}{4}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{12+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}

The decimal values are A = -9/2=-4.5, B=13/4 = 3.25

Now represent the points in the number line. See the image below

Finally, calculate their sum:

\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{9}{2}+\frac{13}{4}

\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{18}{4}+\frac{13}{4}=\frac{-18+13}{4}

\boxed{\displaystyle A+B=-\frac{5}{4}}

Work about the mid-points of these line segments. GH: G(-3,-4) and H (0,2)
Svet_ta [14]
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates
of the ends.
The average of the ends is  1/2(-3+0) = -1.5 .

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates
of the ends.
The average of the ends is  1/2(-4+2) = -1

The midpoint of the segment is  <em>(-1.5, -1)</em>.

Chase goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $11.90. A sales tax of 9% was added on. Chase tipped 17% on the amoun
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$15.17

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the value for the sales tax:

11.90 \times  \frac{9}{100 }  = 1.07

we then add the value for the sales tax ($1.07) to the initial bill:

11.90 + 1.07 = 12.97

We were instructed to calculate the tip after the sales tax was added so:

12.97 \times  \frac{17}{100}  = 2.20

after we will add the value for the tip to the value that we have for the bill ( this is the new value that includes the sales tax) to find the total cost:

12.97+ 2.20  = 15.17

<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>cost</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>his</em><em> </em><em>mean</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>15.17</em>
