I want to compare the distances of two different stores from home. What key word shows that you are finding the difference between rational numbers?(1 point)

The correct keyword that shows finding the difference between rational numbers is "subtract." So the correct answer is "D) subtract."
I apologize for the confusion. The keyword "compare" in option "B) compare" can also indicate finding the difference between rational numbers, as it implies a comparison between two quantities. Thank you for pointing that out, and I apologize for any misunderstanding caused.
To find the balance in the account, we need to subtract the fee from the initial balance.
Initial balance: -$11
Fee: $25
To calculate the balance, we can use the equation:
Balance = Initial balance - Fee
Balance = -$11 - $25
Balance = -$36
Therefore, the balance in the account is -$36.
To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to add the drop during the summer to the initial water level.
Initial water level: 1 1/2 meters below sea level
Drop during summer: 2 1/3 meters below sea level
To add the drop to the initial water level, we can use the equation:
Water level at the end of summer = Initial water level + Drop during summer
Water level at the end of summer = 1 1/2 - 2 1/3
To perform the subtraction, we need to find a common denominator for 2/3 and 1/2, which is 6.
Water level at the end of summer = (3/2) - (4/6)
= (9/6) - (4/6)
= 5/6
Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 5/6 meters below sea level.
To find the difference in rainfall between June and July, we need to subtract the amount of rainfall in July from the amount of rainfall in June.
Rainfall in June: 2.3 inches above normal
Rainfall in July: 1.2 inches below normal
To calculate the difference in rainfall, we can use the equation:
Difference in rainfall = Rainfall in June - Rainfall in July
Difference in rainfall = 2.3 - (-1.2)
To subtract the negative value, we can change it to a positive value by adding it.
Difference in rainfall = 2.3 + 1.2
= 3.5
Therefore, the difference in rainfall between June and July is 3.5 inches.
To find how far the submarine traveled, we need to calculate the difference between its depth after 5 hours and its initial depth.
Initial depth: 106.3 feet below sea level
Depth after 5 hours: 481.2 feet below sea level
To calculate the distance traveled, we can use the equation:
Distance traveled = Depth after 5 hours - Initial depth
Distance traveled = 481.2 - 106.3
Distance traveled = 374.9
Therefore, the submarine traveled a distance of 374.9 feet.
The context that describes a difference of rational numbers is "comparing the daily high temperature and low temperature".
The scenario that represents finding the difference in books is "finding the number of books remaining after a sale on books".
To find the temperature on Tuesday, we need to subtract 13 from the temperature on Monday.
Temperature on Monday: -4°C
Change in temperature: 13° colder
To calculate the temperature on Tuesday, we can use the equation:
Temperature on Tuesday = Temperature on Monday - Change in temperature
Temperature on Tuesday = -4°C - 13°C
Temperature on Tuesday = -17°C
Therefore, the temperature on Tuesday is -17°C.
To find the change in height, we need to subtract the initial height of the parasail from the final height.
Initial height: 1/20 of a meter
Final height: 1/50 of a meter
To calculate the change in height, we can use the equation:
Change in height = Final height - Initial height
Change in height = 1/50 - 1/20
To perform the subtraction, we need to find a common denominator for 1/50 and 1/20, which is 100.
Change in height = (2/100) - (5/100)
Change in height = -3/100
Therefore, the change in height is -3/100 of a meter.
