A parasail is 1/20 of a meter above the water. Then, after 10 minutes, the parasail is 1/50 of a meter above the water. What is the change in height?(1 point)
Responses
1/20 meter
Start Fraction 1 over 20 End Fraction meter
3/100 meter
Start Fraction 3 over 100 End Fraction meter
1/50 meter
Start Fraction 1 over 50 End Fraction meter
7/100 meter
Start Fraction 7 over 100 End Fraction meter
The change in height is 1/20 meter - 1/50 meter = 3/100 meter. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 3 over 100 End Fraction meter
Which expression shows x and its opposite are 0?(1 point)
Responses
x+(1x)=0
x plus left parenthesis Start Fraction 1 over x End Fraction right parenthesis equals 0
x+(−1x)=0
x plus left parenthesis negative Start Fraction 1 over x End Fraction right parenthesis equals 0
x+(−x)=0
x plus left parenthesis negative x right parenthesis equals 0
x+x=0
The expression that shows x and its opposite are 0 is x+(−x)=0. Therefore, the correct answer is:
x+(−x)=0
Which expression correctly shows the sum of opposite numbers?(1 point)
Responses
(−25)+(−25)=−50
left parenthesis negative 25 right parenthesis plus left parenthesis negative 25 right parenthesis equals negative 50
(−25)+(−25)=0
left parenthesis negative 25 right parenthesis plus left parenthesis negative 25 right parenthesis equals 0
(−25)+25=0
left parenthesis negative 25 right parenthesis plus 25 equals 0
(−25)+25=50
The expression that correctly shows the sum of opposite numbers is (−25)+(25)=0. Therefore, the correct answer is:
(−25)+25=0

A deposit of $20 to a bank and a fee charged of $20.
A withdrawal of $20 to a bank and a fee charged of $20.
The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is:
A withdrawal of $20 to a bank and a fee charged of $20.
In this situation, the $20 withdrawal and the $20 fee charged cancel each other out, resulting in a net balance of 0. Therefore, the correct answer is:
A withdrawal of $20 to a bank and a fee charged of $20.

The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is:
Eileen moves seven spaces forward, then she moves seven spaces back in a game.
In this situation, the movement of seven spaces forward is countered by the movement of seven spaces back, resulting in a net movement of 0 spaces. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Eileen moves seven spaces forward, then she moves seven spaces back in a game.
