Answer:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 negatives are next to each other, you have to make it into addition.

-39+16

Now we have to subtract 39 and 16. Why? because we have we are adding 16. If you draw a number line, start from -39, and move 16 sports ahead.

39-16= 23

Now, We aren't ahead of the 0, we are still in the negative zone. Your answer is -23.

Not sure if you can make number lines on here, but I tried.

The weight of gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, is measured in carats. A carat is a unit of measure equal to 20

Alexxx [7]

We are told in the question that 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.

The Hope Diamond is 44.5 carats. Let's multiply the weight of 1 carat by 44.5 to get the weight of the Hope Diamond in mg:

$\frac{200mg}{1 carat}* \frac{44.5 carats}{1}=8,900 mg$

The total weight of the Hope Diamond is 8,900 mg. However the question asks for the weight in grams. There are 1000 mg in 1 gram, so let's divide the known weight of the Hope Diamond in mg by 1000 to get the weight converted to grams:

$\frac{8,900mg}{1000}=8.9grams$

Now we know that the weight of the Hope Diamond is equal to 8.9 grams.

kirza4 [7]

Ratio of height of the man to the length of the shadow = 6:9 = 2:3
Ratio of height of the tree to the length of its shadow = x:25 = 2:3
x/25 = 2/3
x = (25 x 2)/3 = 50/3 = 16.67

Therefore the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot is 17 feet.
