Question

The sum of 27 and -28 divided by 2.

Answer 1

Hey there!

The word sum usually means addition in mathematics!

27 + (-28) / 2

= 27 - 28 / 2

= -1 / 2

= -0.5

Answer: -1/2 OR -0.5 (either those should work because they are both equivalent)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

• Okay, so first we need to frame this statement to a numerical expression. It will be :- '27 + (-28) / 2 [sum means to add the 2 numbers, i.e, 27 + (-28). Then we should divide the result by 2 according to the question given.)
• Now, let's solve it.

$\sf\frac { 27 + ( - 28 ) } { 2 }$

• Subtract 28 from 27 to get -1.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\frac{-1}{2} = \bf- 0.5}}}$

• So, the answer will be - 1/2 in its fractional form or 0.5 in its decimal form.
