Answer:
1.5 as decimal, 1 1/2 as a fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
1. convert 2 5/6 & (-1 4/12) to a improper fraction.
17/6 and -16/12
2. multiply 17/6 by 2 to match -16/12's denominator
17/6 * 2 = 34/12
We now have
34/12 + -16/12
A positive number plus a negative number is the same thing as subtraction so we remove the negative sign and replace the plus with a minus sign.
We have:
Now solve. 34-16 = 18
our answer is 18/12

Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
As seen below, the equation of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)2 = r^2.
In this case, h = the x-value of the center of the circle, which is -2, and k = the y-value of the center of the circle, which is 3. The radius r is 4.
(x - (-2))^2 + (y - (3))^2 = (4)^2
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16
This corresponds to answer choice C.
Hope this helps!
