Answer: +5

Explanation: When a problem is asking us to find the absolute value of a number, it's really asking us how far is that number from zero.

So the absolute value of -5 is really asking us

how far is -5 away from zero on a number line.

I have drawn a number line below and you can see that -5

is 5 units to the left of zero which means its 5 units from zero.

So the absolute value of -5 is +5.

when 256 is multiplied by a positive power of 10 number of zeros in the product is related to the power of 10 explain how the nu
Anna [14]

Answer:

If you multiply 256 by 10 powered by k, then the number of zeros in the product is k

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be any integer, if you multiply x by 10 you will have to add one zero at the right of x. If you multiply by 10 again, you will have to add a second zero at the right, thus if you multiply by 100, you will have to add 2 zeros. If you multiply by 1000 = 10*10*10 = 10³ you will have to add 3 zeros and so on.

Therefore, if you multiply 256 by 10^k, then you will have to add k zeros to 256, and as a consequence, the amount of zeros in the product is equal to the power of 10 we are multiplying.

An animal shelter has 104 cats and dogs. The ratio of cats to dogs is 5:3. How many cats are at the shelter?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

65 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

cats: dogs: total

5:     3:        5+3=8

We need 8 to be 104

104/8 = 13

Multiply each by 13

cats: dogs: total

5*13:   3*13:  8*13

65        39     104

There are 65 cats and 39 dogs
