Answer:
6.3
Step-by-step explanation:
8.5 - (-4.8)
Let's focus on - (-4.8)
if a negative number is subtracted, it reverses itself
In other words, if a negative number is being subtracted, it is the same as being added as a positive number
So we change the equation to
8.5 + 4.8 = 13.3
Now we subtract 7 from 13.3
Since positive 7 is being subtracted, the rule for -4.8 does not apply to it
13.3 - 7 = 6.3
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance that a is to b is b-a=17-2=15.
The line segment from a=2 to b=17 has length 15.
We need to know what is 3/5 of 15.
3/5 of 15 means what is 3/5 times 15?
(3/5)(15)=3(3)=9
So this means we are looking to make a line segment that is 9 units from 2 which is 2 to 11.
So 11 is 3/5 the way from a=2 to b=17.
Let's check from 2 to 11 that is a length of 9 and from 2 to 17 that is a length of 15.
Is 9/15 equal to 3/5?
Yes, 9/15 can be reduced to 3/5.
4(5)=20
5(5)=25
