Use the additive inverse to find −24 4/5−6 7/10.
To find the sum of -24 4/5 and -6 7/10 using the additive inverse, we can change the signs of both numbers and then add them together.
First, we change the signs of both numbers:
-(-24 4/5) = 24 4/5
-(-6 7/10) = 6 7/10
Next, we add the two positive numbers together:
24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 30 11/10
Therefore, -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 is equal to 30 11/10.
To find the sum of −24 4/5 and −6 7/10 using the additive inverse, we need to change the signs of both numbers and then add them together.
First, change the sign of −24 4/5. This becomes 24 4/5.
Next, change the sign of −6 7/10. This becomes 6 7/10.
Now, we can add the two positive numbers together:
24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 30 17/10.
However, since the signs of the original numbers were negative, the final answer should also have a negative sign.
Therefore, the sum of −24 4/5 and −6 7/10 using the additive inverse is −30 17/10.
