Answer:

"Absolute value" is the non-negative value of a number, disregarding whether or not it has a sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Absolute value" is the non-negative value of a number, disregarding whether or not it has a sign. It can be thought of as how far it is away from the number of 0, whether it's to the left or right. Absolute value of a number is written as |x|, where x = any number. Let's say x was -1. |-1| would be 1 because it's 1 away from 0. If x was just 1, then the number would stay the same.

The speedometer in Kevin's car reads in both miles/hour and kilometers/hour. What information is needed to convert between these

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a) the number of miles in 1 kilometer

Step-by-step explanation:

The car converts from miles/hour to kilometers/hour, if we see the time measurement (hours) it stays the same in both units.

So to make the conversion<u> it is enough to know how many miles are in one kilometer.</u>

For example, lets convert 10miles/hour to kilometers/hour.

there are 0.621371 miles in 1 kilometer, so if we divide 10miles/hour by 0.621371 we get kilometers/hour units:

$\frac{10miles}{hour} (\frac{1kilometer}{0.621371miles} )=16.0934\frac{kilometers}{hour}$

Thus to make the conversion between the two units is needed the number of miles in 1 kilometer.

Why do you think gas stations often quote a price per gallon that ends in 9/10 of a cent? Do you think this is an appropriate us

arlik [135]

The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price.
