To find the additive inverse of a number, we take its opposite.
The opposite of -24 4/5 is 24 4/5.
So, -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 is equal to 24 4/5 + 6 7/10.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator of 5 and 10 is 10.
Converting 4/5 and 7/10 to have a denominator of 10, we get:
4/5 = 8/10
7/10 = 7/10
Now we can add:
24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 24 + 6 + 8/10 + 7/10
= 30 + 15/10
= 30 + 1 5/10
= 31 5/10
= 31 1/2
So, the answer is 31 1/2. Answer: 31.
negative?
Apologies for the confusion. When finding the additive inverse, we are indeed looking for the negative of the number.
The negative of -24 4/5 is 24 4/5.
So, the correct expression is 24 4/5 - 6 7/10.
Following the same steps as before, we find that:
24 4/5 - 6 7/10 = 24 + (-6) + 4/5 + (-7/10)
= 18 + 4/5 + (-7/10)
= 18 + 8/10 + (-7/10)
= 18 + 1/10
= 18 1/10
Therefore, the answer is 18 1/10.
no, is the answer negative or positive?
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct, we need to determine if the answer is negative or positive.
To find -24 4/5 - 6 7/10, we can find a common denominator and subtract the fractions.
The common denominator of 5 and 10 is 10.
Converting 4/5 and 7/10 to have a denominator of 10, we get:
4/5 = 8/10
7/10 = 7/10
Now we can subtract:
-24 4/5 - 6 7/10 = -24 - 6 + 8/10 - 7/10
= -30 + 1/10
So, the answer is -30 1/10.
