Find the value of 5 - (-10)

Subtracting a negative = adding a positive

Minus minus = plus plus

5 + 10  = 15

Find the value of -0.3 ÷ 4.

-3/40. 

We can write -0.3 as a 3/10 and we can write 4 as 4/1. 

Dividing fractions requires us to invert and multiply [KCF]. When the signs are different, the answer will be negative.

3/10 * 1/4 = -3/40.

The current temperature outside is 11°C. If the current temperature drops by 18°C, Eve can make frozen soap bubbles. At what temperature can Eve make frozen soap bubbles?

a. -29°C

b. 7°C

c. -7°C

d. 29°C

C. -7°C

A drop means we subtract 18 from 11.

11°C - 18°C = -7°C.

What is the probability of rolling a 12?

What is the probability of rolling a multiple of 2?

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4?


the probability of rolling a 12? 0/10 or impossible.

the probability of rolling a multiple of 2? : 5/10 or 1/2.

the probability of rolling a number greater than 4: 6/10 or 3/5.

 19/50 - 0.38

Positive, negative, or zero?

Zero. 

19/50 = 38/100 or 0.38, 0.38 - 0.38 = 0.

Xavier's fuel tank holds 14 3/4 gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 8.3 gallons of gasoline to fill it completely. How many gallons of gasoline were in the tank before Xavier added some?

14 3/4 = 14.75

8.3 + the gas he added = 14.75

14.75 - 8.30 = 6.45 gallons
