No . . . while the difference represents the absolute magnitude between two numbers . . . for example . . .
<em>The difference between 5 and 2 is . . . 3</em>
<em>The difference between 6.4 and 9.5 is . . . 3.1</em>
. . . there is still the chance that the difference may be zero . . . in which case the difference is neither positive nor negative
. . . so in short . . . the answer is . . . <u><em>NO</em></u>
Answer:
The answer to your question is 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total volume = 1 gallon
Water drank by the hiker = 1/2
Water drank by each of his friends = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the water that he gave to his friends
Water gave to his friends = 1 - 1/2
= 1/2
2.- Calculate the amount of water each friend received.
1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8
3.- Conclusion
Each of the friends received 1/8 of the gallon.
Answer:
<u><em>The length of AD is 32 feet</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportional distances
</u>
When distances are proportions of others, we can express all of them as relative fractions until we reach some known distance and solve for the desired length
Let's call x the length of AD. Given C is the midpoint of AD, then
Given B is the midpoint of AC, then
If we know BC=8 feet
The length of AD is 32 feet
