Use the additive inverse to find 8.76−26.54
The additive inverse of a number is the opposite of the number when added, which means it will result in a sum of zero.
To find the additive inverse of a number, we change the sign of the number. So, the additive inverse of 8.76 is -8.76 and the additive inverse of 26.54 is -26.54.
Now, we can subtract 26.54 from 8.76 by adding the additive inverse of 26.54 to 8.76:
8.76 + (-26.54) = -17.78
Therefore, 8.76 - 26.54 is equal to -17.78.
Use the additive inverse to find −1223−(−856). Write the answer as a mixed number
To simplify the expression −1223−(−856) using the additive inverse, we can rewrite it as −1223 + 856.
Now, we can add the two numbers:
-1223 + 856 = -367
The answer, -367, can be written as a mixed number as -367 = -366+(-1).
Therefore, the answer as a mixed number is -366 and -1, which can be written as -366 1/1 or -366 1.
Use the additive inverse to find −12 2/3−(−8 5/6). Write the answer as a mixed number
To simplify the expression −12 2/3−(−8 5/6) using the additive inverse, we can rewrite it as −12 2/3 + 8 5/6.
Now, let's convert these mixed numbers into improper fractions:
−12 2/3 = -38/3
8 5/6 = 53/6
To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6. Let's convert the fractions:
−38/3 = −76/6
53/6 = 53/6
Now, we can add these fractions:
-76/6 + 53/6 = -23/6
The answer, -23/6, can be written as a mixed number by dividing the numerator (23) by the denominator (6):
-23 ÷ 6 = -3 remainder 5
Therefore, the answer as a mixed number is -3 5/6.
What is the distance between −8 and 16 on a number line?
To find the distance between −8 and 16 on a number line, we subtract the smaller value from the larger value. Therefore:
16 - (-8) = 16 + 8 = 24.
The distance between −8 and 16 on a number line is 24.
What is the distance between 18.25 and −7.4 on the number line?
To find the distance between 18.25 and -7.4 on the number line, we subtract the smaller value from the larger value. Therefore:
18.25 - (-7.4) = 18.25 + 7.4 = 25.65
The distance between 18.25 and -7.4 on the number line is 25.65.
distance between 6.5 and −7.2 on a number line
To find the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line, we subtract the smaller value from the larger value. Therefore:
|-7.2 - 6.5| = |-7.2 + (-6.5)| = |-7.2 - 6.5| = |-13.7| = 13.7
The distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7.
