Answer:
The numbers are 9 + 11 + 13 + 15.
Step-by-step explanation: The equation for this is simple.
Take x as the smallest number of the 4 numbers. The second number would be x +2, third number is x+4, and the fourth number is x+6. you add these together, and you get: 4x +12 = 48, you then solve this as a linear equation. 48-12 = 36. Then you divide by 4, which gives you 9 as the smallest number of the 4 numbers. Remember that the second number is 9+2=11, third is 9+4=13, and the fourth is 9+6=15. If you add these together you get 9+11+13+15=48.

2. c
3. a
4. b
5. c
explanations:
1. the opposite of -4 is 4. you can think of this two ways: the opposite of a negative is always absolute value, or the opposite of a negative is always positive.
2. above
3. -5 > -8 because the distance -5 is from 0 is 5, and the distance from -8 to 0 is 8. 8 > 5, so -8 is farther away than -5.
4. while -8 is less than -6, but absolute value would turn -8 into 8, which is greater than -6
5. explained by all above.
To compare fractions , you need to have same denominator.
Just multiply the Numerator and denominator of the fraction by required number so as to get the common denominator.
for example, In this case , the common denominator is 12.
the first fraction is converted as shown, 5/3=5*4/3*4=20/12
similarly, you can convert others.
Once you have common denominator, just compare numerators.
33+27=60. 9/60= .15 there's not much more to say.
The answer is 7.5.
7 4/8 is also 7.5
