Answer:

The correct answer is C) 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this answer, you need to take the fraction that answered it on the first try and subtract the number that changed their mind.

7/18 - 1/9

In order to complete this operation, you need to give them common denominators.

7/18 - 2/18 = 5/18

Find an equivalent fraction with the lowest common denominator. <br> 9/10+2/3
mafiozo [28]

Answer: 1-17/30, or 47/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common denominator. In this case, it’s 30. Multiply the numerators to fit the new denominator. (10•3=30, so 9•3=27, and 2•10=20.)

Your new fractions are 27/30 and 20/30. Now add the numerators.

27+20=47.

Your new fraction is 47/30.

Now check if you can simplify. Since 47 is a prime number, this fraction is in its simplest form. However, it is an improper fraction, so you can simplify it to 1-17/30.

When finding the sum of 512 and –614, Josh used a left-to-right algorithm to compute the answer. He first added the hundred’s di
Georgia [21]

Answer:

<em>Yes, Josh's answer</em><em> is </em><em>correct</em><em> as </em><em> –102</em><em>  is the correct answer.</em>

<em>Josh have computed the sum as:</em>

<em>If the two integers having different signs, we need to subtract the absolute values (the digits without signs) and then just make sure to keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.</em>

     − 6 1 4

+    + 5 1 2

_________

     - 1 0 2

_________

Staring from right, − 614 + (+512) = -102 can be obtained by first adding 2 in negative 4, then adding 1 in negative 1, and lastly adding 5 in negative 6.

Ultimately we can say that Negative 614 plus Positive 514 equals Negative 102.

So, the sum of 512 and –614 is  -102 i.e − 614 + (+512) = -102

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how Josh used a left-to-right algorithm to compute the answer:

  1. Adding the hundred’s digits 500 + (–600) = –100
  2. Adding the ten's digits 10 + (–10) = 0
  3. Lastly, adding 2 + (–4) = –2
  4. End result –100 + 0 + (–2) = –102

<em>Yes, Josh's answer is correct. </em>

<em>How else could Josh have computed the sum?</em>

Before mentioning how Josh could have computed the sum. Here are some of the facts about sum of numbers:

  • The sum of two negative integers is a negative integer. For example,

Adding two negative integers: -3 and -5

-3 + -5 = -8

Please, you don't need to confuse the sign or symbol of the integer with the operation being performed.

Just note -3 + -5 = -8 which is read as is read as Negative 3 plus negative 5 equals negative 8.

  • The sum of two positive integers is a positive integer.

Adding two positive integers: ⁺3 and ⁺5

(⁺3) + (⁺5) = ⁺8

Please, you don't need to confuse the sign or symbol of the integer with the operation being performed.

Just note ⁺3 + ⁺5 = ⁺8 which is read as is read as Positive 3 plus positive 5 equals positive 8.

  • To add a positive and a negative integer

As +(+) are like signs, so they become a positive sign. Such as:

−5 + (+ 1) = −5 + 1 = -4

As

+ + ⇒ +  

+ − ⇒ −  

− + ⇒ −

− − ⇒ +

<em>If the two integers having different signs, we need to subtract the absolute values (the digits without signs) and then just make sure to keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.</em>

So, What is −614 + (+512)?

       

     − 6 1 4

+    + 5 1 2

_________

     - 1 0 2

_________

Staring from right, − 614 + (+512) = -102 can be obtained by first adding 2 in negative 4, then adding 1 in negative 1, and lastly adding 5 in negative 6.

Ultimately we can say that Negative 614 plus Positive 514 equals Negative 102.

<em>So, the sum of 512 and –614 is  -102 i.e − 614 + (+512) = -102</em>
