It is twenty degrees below zero and then the temperature rises ten degrees.
It is twenty degrees below zero and then the temperature rises ten degrees.
Marty gets ten dollars for his allowance and then spends ten dollars at the movies.
Marty gets ten dollars for his allowance and then spends ten dollars at the movies.
The illustration that shows two quantities that combine to make 0 is:
Marty gets ten dollars for his allowance and then spends ten dollars at the movies.
To determine which of these scenarios illustrates two quantities that combine to make 0, we need to identify situations where a gain is followed by an equal loss, resulting in a net change of zero.
Let's evaluate each response:
1. Latanya lost ten pounds and then gained six pounds.
In this case, Latanya lost ten pounds but then gained six pounds, resulting in a net loss of four pounds. Therefore, this scenario does not illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0.
2. A business's profit if its income is more than its expenses.
This scenario involves a comparison between income and expenses, but it doesn't provide specific values. Without more information, we cannot determine whether the profit would be zero or not. Therefore, this scenario does not illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0 as well.
3. It is twenty degrees below zero, and then the temperature rises ten degrees.
Here, the temperature starts at twenty degrees below zero and then rises by ten degrees. This results in a final temperature of ten degrees below zero. Since the initial temperature is opposite to the change, and the net change is zero, this scenario illustrates two quantities that combine to make 0.
4. Marty gets ten dollars for his allowance and then spends ten dollars at the movies.
In this case, Marty receives ten dollars and then spends ten dollars. As the amount received and spent are equal, the net change in Marty's finances is zero, making this scenario an illustration of two quantities that combine to make 0.
From the given options, both option 3 and option 4 illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0.
