Alright, so since I don't have an example question, I will make one up.
there are 8 coins in total. there are 6 dimes. What is the fraction of dimes to coins.
you would put the amount of dimes on the top and the total on the bottom.
Answer: 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4
Or another Example:
There are 12 pieces in the pizza. Billy took 4. what is the fraction of the slices left.
it would be 4-12= 8
Answer: 8/12 which can be simplified to 4/6 and then to 2/3
Hope that helped.
Use the formula (new price-old price) / old price
32-40=-8
-8/40=-20%
the percent difference is 20%
the negative means it was a markdown

Negative temperatures are basically the same as normal ones, although they go below zero, so they are still the same distance apart from zero, just on the left side of the number line.
To find the answer find the difference between 30.5°C and 0 (which is 30.5).
Next, find the difference between -122.2°C and zero (122.2)
Finally, add 122.2 + 30.5 to find the total distances from the zero combined for the full distances apart from each other.
(We add them because -122.2 to the left of zero, and 30.5 is on the right)
You should get 152.7 as your answer.

I'm guessing since it is asking for the deepest point (-5315) from sea level (0), the answer is -5,315 feet
*Remember 5,315 is negative because numbers below sea level are all negative*
So the answer should be -5,315 feet deep. (I'm not sure how to show your work for that I'm guessing it is 0 - 5,315 at the slightest).
*Hope this all helped :)*
154/10=15.4. Then apply greatest integer function (smallest integer larger than that number) to get 16.
