Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, an integer is a whole number that can be either positive, negative or zero.

Now, a drop in temperature signifies a reduction in the temperature.

This means that if for example, the current temperature is 50 °C, a drop in temperature of 10°C would mean that the current temperature would be gotten by subtracting 10 from 50.

Now,current temperature after drop would be;

T = 50 - 10

To prove that it is gotten by adding a negative integer:

This can also be written as;

T = 50 + (-10)

Because from mathematical multiplication signs, minus multiplied by plus gives minus.

Since, T = 50 + (-10), it means that a negative integer of minus 10 has been added to the initial temperature to get the new decreased temperature.

Create a word problem using 30+2d as the answer

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Sonya pays a flat fee of $30 for her phone bill and pays $2 per gigabyte she uses per month. Put Sonya's bill as an equation with <em>d</em> being how many gigabytes she uses per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We get the flat fee of $30 from "30 + 2d" and the $2 per gigabyte from "30 + 2d" and since we want to find out Sonya's total bill, that's where the + in "30 + 2d" comes from. We want the variable to be <em>d</em> therefore <em>d</em> is how many gigabytes she uses per month.

The equation that represents the array (rectangles and area) multiplication model that sows two grey shaded columns of length one ninth each and three rows with dots of width one fourth each is option <em>a</em>

a) The equation with fractions two ninths times three fourths is equal to six thirty sixths

$\dfrac{2}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{6}{36}$

<h3>What is an array (area) multiplication model?</h3>

An array representation of a multiplication is a rectangular visual order of positioning of rows and columns that indicates the terms of a multiplication equation.

Please find attached the area model to multiply the fractions

The terms of the equation represented by the model are indicated by the two columns of length one ninth each shaded grey and the three rows of width one fourth each covered with dots, such that the equation can be presented as follows;

$\left(\dfrac{1}{9} +\dfrac{1}{9}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{4} \right) = \dfrac{2}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{6}{36}$
