Answer:

(-17)/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-7/10 + 2/8 + 1/10 - 4/8

The gcd of 2 and 8 is 2, so 2/8 = (2×1)/(2×4) = 2/2×1/4 = 1/4:

-7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 - 4/8

The gcd of -4 and 8 is 4, so (-4)/8 = (4 (-1))/(4×2) = 4/4×(-1)/2 = (-1)/2:

-7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 + -1/2

Put -7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 - 1/2 over the common denominator 20. -7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 - 1/2 = (2 (-7))/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20:

(2 (-7))/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20

2 (-7) = -14:

(-14)/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20

-14/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20 = (-14 + 5 + 2 - 10)/20:

(-14 + 5 + 2 - 10)/20

-14 + 5 + 2 - 10 = (5 + 2) - (14 + 10):

((5 + 2) - (14 + 10))/20

5 + 2 = 7:

(7 - (14 + 10))/20

| 1 | 4

+ | 1 | 0

| 2 | 4:

(7 - 24)/20

7 - 24 = -(24 - 7):

(-(24 - 7))/20

| 1 | 14

| 2 | 4

- | | 7

| 1 | 7:

Answer: (-17)/20

Julian needs to spend at least seven hours each week practicing the drums he’s already practice 5 1/3 hours this week he wants t
hoa [83]

Answer:

(5.33 + 2h) ≥ 7

h ≥ 0.835

Step-by-step explanation:

Let in the last two days Julian has to practice the drum for h hours each.

Then in two days, he has to practice 2h hours,

He has already practiced 5\frac{1}{3} = 5.33 hours before those last two days.

Therefore, he has practiced this week by (5.33 + 2h) hours.

Now, given that Julian needs to spend at least 7 hours each week practicing the drums.

Hence, we can write the inequality  

(5.33 + 2h) ≥ 7

⇒ 2h ≥ 1.67

⇒ h ≥ 0.835 hours

Therefore, Julian has to practice for 0.835 hours for the last two days of the week. (Answer)

Jackson owes his sister Monica $15. Explain the meaning of zero in this situation.
ludmilkaskok [199]

accounting wise, if a value is positive, is an asset, you're above water, +50, you have 50 bucks in your account/pocket.

if a value is negative, is a liability, you're below water, -50, you owe 50 bucks, you're in the hole for 50 clams.

so Jackson owes Monica $15, he's in the hole for 15 bucks, namely his balance with his sister is -15.

if he pays her $1, he owes her 14, so -14 is his balance, let's make a quick table of that

pays her 1................... -14

pays her 2..................-13

pays her 3...................-12

and so on

pays her 13.................-2

pays her 15..................0


0 means, he paid her in full.
