Answer:
a>0
Step-by-step explanation:
if a is negative then the subtraction sign would switch. therefore, for the expression to have a negartive value a must be greater than 0
The first picture about the rational numbers I am not sure the answer.
In the second picture the set that are all equivalent to the fraction is the second set.
In the third picture
the equivalent expression is the first one.
In the fourth picture the correct situation is the first one about buying popcorn.
Hope this helps a little, sorry I could not help more.
Answer:
Just use long subtraction by expanding the decimal places of the whole number. This is done by adding a point, and enough zeros to it to match the number of decimal digits in the other number (digits after the decimal point).
12345678
i.e: 5 - 2.48374827, 2.48374827 has 8 decimal digits, so add 8 zeros after the point.
=
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
5.00000000
-
2.48374827

This is basically borrowing a group of 10s which are the same as 1s in the next decimal place up.
For each digit except the first to the right, let 10 subtract that number from it and minus 1 since the 1 is carried over.
