The statements that correctly represent the scenario stated are:
B. because losing 8 pounds is represented as -8 and doing this for 3 months would be 3 groups of -8 or 3 x -8
D. because they showed the weight loss as a negative integer and then put those into groups of 4 each using the distributive property)
The error with the other 2 choices is that the negative number is not correctly representing which part of the problem is a decrease. The negative sign is placed on the number of groups of.
1/5x-12=0
+12 +12
1/5x=12
(1/5)x=(1/5)12
X=2.4
Thanks bro, appreciate it
Answer:
Option a (Bar Chart) is the right approach.
Step-by-step explanation:
Even before we want to equate or compare the distinct types, a bar chart was being used, it is a set of productivity and profitability, with either the price fluctuations over a given time displayed by each bar.
<u>We would like to compare two different groups here: </u>
- Individuals who work out five days a week or even more than that.
- Someone who doesn't do 5 or maybe more days of exercising.
The other options offered were never relevant to the relation or condition presented. So, option b seems to be the correct one.
Would it be 0.05? 0.5 is 10 times this number
