A) 8 + 7 + 5 = 20 parts
b) 220 kg ÷ 20 = 11
c) <span> 8 parts crushed gravel: 8 x 11 = 88 kg
7 parts water: 7 x 11 = 77 kg
5 parts cement: 5 x 11 = 55 kg</span>
It's 77.472 , but since you probably need too round it will be 77.5
Both the negative and positive counterparts of a number have the same absolute value, or distance from 0.
The two numbers are 16 and -16.
They both have the same absolute value, 16.
If they have 24 hours in a day, and use 1/6 of those 24 hours on news, they use 24*(1/6) or 4 hours on news. Assuming that they use the leftover time for just music and entertainment, we have 20h - 4h, so thats 20h. You were right. Not sure on their reasoning either.
