Answer:
Learning to subtract rational numbers by adding the additive inverse can be explained to your child as being the same as finding the opposite. This can even be described to your child as being a similar concept to one that they have worked with in the past where subtraction is the opposite of addition.
Additive inverse can be defined as adding a number with the opposite or the negative of that number to equal zero. The additive inverse of 1 is (-1), the additive inverse of 2 is (-2) and so on.
Example: 5 + (-5) = 0
In this example, (-5) is the additive inverse.
You can then take additive inverse one step when finding the additive inverse when subtracting rational numbers.
Example: 7 - 4 = 7 + (-4)
3 = 3
When finding the inverse, it is important to keep in mind that what you do to one side, you must do the opposite to another. In the example above, because you subtracted a positive four on one side, you are going to add a negative four to the other. This will make the equation equal on both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
In customary units, the length of a car would be in feet.
In this case, the pattern is the number, in this case, 3, multiplied by the number below it.

Hope this helped :)
He has 21 classmates, you know this by, taking 17.5 and dividing it by the 5/6. This leading to get you 21.
