We've learned that adding and subtracting decimal numbers, numbers with a decimal point, is just like adding and subtracting whole numbers. The only difference is that we line up the numbers according to the decimal point. For addition, it doesn't matter which number goes on the bottom.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One difference is that when adding decimals you have to be aware if you have to move it or is the numbers are lined up,while whole numbers you just add them with no worries just making sure your adding the number rights and getting the right answer .

Answer:

<h2>x =  -  \frac{19}{4}</h2>

Option B is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

-  \frac{1}{2}  + x =  -  \frac{21}{4}

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign:

x =  -  \frac{21}{4}  +  \frac{1}{2}

Take the L.C.M

x =  \frac{ - 21 + 1  \times 2}{4}

x =  \frac{ - 21 + 2}{4}

Calculate

x =  -  \frac{19}{4}

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

PQR is a right-angled triangle. PQ = 16 cm. PR = 8 cm. Calculate the length of
vlada-n [284]
SOLUTION:

PQR is a right-angle triangle.

Therefore, to solve this problem, we will use Pythagoras theorem which is only applicable to right-angle triangles.

Pythagoras theorem is as displayed below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenuse of right-angle triangle

Where a and b = other two sides of right-angle triangle

Now we will simply substitute the values from the problem into Pythagoras theorem in order to obtain the length of QR.

c = PQ = 16cm

a = PR = 8cm

b = QR = ?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

( 8 )^2 + b^2 = ( 16 )^2

64 + b^2 = 256

b^2 = 256 - 64

b^2 = 192

b = square root of ( 192 )

b = 13.8564...

b = 13.86 ( to 2 decimal places )

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the length of QR is 13.86 centimetres to 2 decimal places.

Hope this helps! :)

The engine of a car has a displacement of 305 cubic inches. what is the displacement in cubic feet? round your answer to 2 decim
ipn [44]
 solution
 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Therefore, to convert to cubic measurements
 (1 in)³ = (2.54 cm)³
 Thus;
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Hence 305 cubic inches will be equivalent to
  305 × 16.387
 = 4998.035 cm³
