Answer:

Assuming that the longest blue whale on record was about 18 scuba divers in length and a scuba diver is 6 feet length, we want to estimate the length of the whale.

Length of the whale = 18*6

You can multiply mentally by using compensation. Substitute a number for 18 that is easy to multiply.

20*6 = 120

Now adjust. Subtract 2 groups of 6, or 12.

120 - 12 = 108

and that is the length of the whale in feet

The number line shows the change in temperature from 7:00 a.M. To 1:00 p.M. Which expression shows how to find the difference be

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The options in the question and the number line are shown in the image attached.

From the options, it is clear that the difference between the temperatures at 7:00 a.M. and 1:00 p.M is;

Temperature at 7:00 a.M - Temperature at 1:00 p.M

We can see from the number line that the temperature at 7:00 a.M = -4

Temperature at 1:00 p.M = 16

difference between the two temperatures = ∣(-4) - 16∣ = 20
