Answer:
Emma was right to say that both packages are close to 2 pounds.
If we round-off the weights of both to the nearest whole number we would get 2 pounds on both. We look at the the difference of both from 2 pounds we get the following:
2.36 - 2.0 = 0.36
2.09 - 2.0 = 0.09
The smaller the difference the closer it is to the base value. So we can say that the closest one is 2.0 pounds is the package that weighs 2.09 pounds.
Approximate solutions are
X subset 2 is approximately equal to -2.72
X subset 1 is approximately equal to -0.28
For -4+2, plot -4, then move to the right 2 spaces. You should land on -2.
For -4+(-2), plot -4 then move the left 2 spaces. You should land on -6.
I sure I think it is A. -2. 5
If we know that Pedro bought 1

pounds of red sand, and 5

pounds of brown sand, and they both cost $4.60, then we just have to add the individual amounts of sand, since they cost the same.

So Pedro bought

lbs of sand overall. Now, we just need to multiply the cost per pound by the total amount of sand he bought.

Pedro spent $31.05 on sand, which is answer choice B.
Hope that helped =)
