Answer:

(1/3 - 5/6) / 5/6

You want to make 1/3 and 5/6 have the same denominator so you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. You plug that back into your equation to get: (2/6 - 5/6) / 5/6. 2/6 - 5/6 is -3/6. -3/6 divided by 5/6 is -3/6 multiplied by 6/5 which is -3/5.

I need the answer for 90 please its due tommorow!

Jacqueline is incorrect.
To find how much trash you can clean in 4 days if you already know how much trash you can clean in one day, multiply 1 2/3 (how much you can clean in one day) by 4.
Another way to write 1 and 2/3 miles is 5/3 (converting a mixed number to a single fraction). Then, 5/3 x 4 = 20/3. (To multiply fractions, just multiply across, leaving 5 x 4 in the numerator and 4 x 1 in the denominator.)
Jacqueline said you would be able to clean 19/3 miles but you can actually clean 20/3.

Explain how you could use a number line to show that -4+3 and 3+(-4) have the same value.which property of addition states that

Anna007 [38]

For -4+3,
1. start with zero
2. move to left (-x axis) for 4 units (-4)
3. then move to right (+x axis) for 3 units (+3)

For 3+(-4)
1. Start with zero
2. Move the point to right side by 3 units (+3)
3. then move the point to the left by 4 units (-4)

For both you'll stop at -1.
