Absolute value means distance from zero on a number line. -7.8 is 7.8 units away from zero on the number line. The absolute value of -7.8 is 7.8. Another way of thinking about absolute value is no matter what number you have inside the absolute value, the result will always be positive. Both of these numbers are 7.8 units away from zero.

Question is below ( explanation)
nalin [4]

To find the rate, you must divide the distance traveled by the time it took.

17.5 m is the distance while time it took was 5 seconds.

So,

17.5 ÷ 5 = 3.5 m/s

The rate of the anchor is 3.5 m/s

Note: I did not ignore the negative sign in the distance but rather acknowledged it as a magnitude. This meant that the anchor was dropping down instead of going up.

Tom has three times as many pencils as pens but has a total of 100 writing utensils. How many pencils does Tom have? How many pe
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

There are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tom has three times as many pencils than pens then,

Pencils = 3(Pens)

If there are a total of 100 writing utensils then,

Pencils + Pens = 100

Substitute the word "pencils" in this equation to 3(Pens),

3(Pens) + Pens = 100

Now remember there is almost a 'hidden' one beside the word "Pens" so,

3Pens + 1Pens = 100

Add the two together,

4Pens = 100

Divide,

Pens = 25

Substitute 25 into the first equation,

Pencils = 3(25)

Pencils = 75

Thus, there are 75 pencils and 25 pens.
