< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.

Allen's work is not written properly so I have rearranged it as shown below:
Original problem) –8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7.
Step 1) −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
Step 2) −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
Step 3) −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
Step 4) −8.3 + 17.3
We can see that in step 1), Allen changed -4.4 into +4.4 using additive inverse. Notice that we are simplifying not eliminating -4.4 as we do in solving some equation. Hence using additive inverse is the wrong step.
Alen should have collect negative numbers together and positive numbers together.
Add the respective numbers then proceed to get the answer.
–8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7
= –8.3 – 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7
= -12.7 + 12.9
= 0.2
The greatest common factor is to h4 and h8 is 4
Answer:
the answer is C (280 square feet)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, cut the lawn so that it becomes two shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle. Solve for both areas.
A(r) = lw
A(r) = (14)(16)
A(r) = 224 square feet
A(t) = bh/2
A(t) = (8)(14) / 2
A(t) = 112 / 2
A(t) = 56 square feet
Add the two areas:
A(r) + A(t) = Area of lawn
224 square feet + 56 square feet = 280 square feet.
