|(1/2)(−8)|+|10−4|
To solve this expression, we will first simplify the absolute values.
|(1/2)(-8)| + |10 - 4|
First, we simplify the absolute value of (1/2)(-8):
|(1/2)(-8)| = |(-4)| = 4
Next, we simplify the absolute value of (10 - 4):
|10 - 4| = |6| = 6
Now, we have:
4 + 6 = 10
The value of the expression is 10.
1/2-8
To solve the expression 1/2 - 8, we need to subtract 8 from 1/2.
To calculate this, we first need to find a common denominator for 1/2 and 8. The common denominator is 2, so we convert 8 to the fraction form 16/2.
Now we can subtract:
1/2 - 16/2 = (1 - 16)/2 = -15/2
Therefore, the value of the expression 1/2 - 8 is -15/2.
what is 15/2 as a regular number?
To express 15/2 as a regular number, we divide the numerator (15) by the denominator (2):
15 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Therefore, 15/2 as a regular number is 7.5.
how do u turn a fraction in a regular number
To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator (top number) of the fraction by the denominator (bottom number).
For example, to convert 3/4 to a decimal:
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
So, 3/4 as a decimal is 0.75.
Similarly, to convert a mixed number (a whole number with a fraction) to a decimal, you first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then follow the same process.
For example, to convert 1 1/2 (one and a half) to a decimal:
First, convert it to an improper fraction:
1 1/2 = (2 * 1 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Then divide the numerator by the denominator:
3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
So, 1 1/2 as a decimal is 1.5.
