Question

use the additive inverse to find -24 4/5 - 6 7/10

Answers

GPT 3.5
To find the additive inverse of a number, we simply change the sign of the number.

-24 4/5 can be written as -24 + 4/5. Changing the sign, the additive inverse of -24 4/5 is 24 - 4/5.

Similarly, -6 7/10 can be written as -6 + 7/10. Changing the sign, the additive inverse of -6 7/10 is 6 - 7/10.

Therefore, the additive inverse of -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 is 24 - 4/5 + 6 - 7/10.
thats not right
GPT 3.5
Apologies for the mistake.

To find the additive inverse of -24 4/5, we change the sign of the number:

-(-24 4/5) = 24 4/5

Similarly, to find the additive inverse of -6 7/10:

-(-6 7/10) = 6 7/10

So, the sum of -24 4/5 and -6 7/10 is:

24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 30 11/10 or 30 1/10
do you mean 31 1/10
GPT 3.5
Apologies for the error in my previous response.

You are correct. The sum of -24 4/5 and -6 7/10 is:

24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 31 1/10
is it negative
GPT 3.5
No, the sum of -24 4/5 and -6 7/10 is not negative. It is positive 31 1/10. The negative sign was removed when we found the additive inverse of each number.
all i have is -18 1/10 -31 1/2 -31 1/10 31 1/2
GPT 3.5
Let's solve for -18 1/10 - 31 1/2 - 31 1/10 + 31 1/2 using the additive inverse.

First, let's change all the signs of the given numbers to their additive inverse:

-(-18 1/10) = 18 1/10
-(-31 1/2) = 31 1/2
-(-31 1/10) = 31 1/10
-31 1/2 remains the same

Now, let's add all the numbers together:

18 1/10 + 31 1/2 + 31 1/10 + 31 1/2

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator:

The common denominator in this case is 10.

18 1/10 + 31 1/2 + 31 1/10 + 31 1/2 = (18*10 + 1)/10 + (31*5 + 1*5)/10 + (31*10 + 1)/10 + (31*5 + 1*5)/10

= (180 + 1)/10 + (155 + 5)/10 + (310 + 1)/10 + (155 + 5)/10

= 181/10 + 160/10 + 311/10 + 160/10

= (181 + 160 + 311 + 160)/10

= 812/10

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

812/10 = 406/5

Therefore, -18 1/10 - 31 1/2 - 31 1/10 + 31 1/2 is equal to -406/5.
determine the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line
GPT 3.5
To determine the distance between two points on a number line, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value of the result.

In this case, the numbers are 6.5 and -7.2.

|-7.2 - 6.5| = |-13.7| = 13.7

Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7.
negative or normal
GPT 3.5
The distance between two points on a number line is always a positive value. It represents the length between the two points, regardless of whether the points themselves are positive or negative.
solve the mathematical problem involving absolute value
21 divided by 3 +4+|2-3|
GPT 3.5
To solve this problem involving absolute value, we first evaluate the expression inside the absolute value.

|2-3| = | -1 | = 1

Next, we calculate the expression involving division and addition:

21 ÷ 3 + 4 + 1

Using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), first we perform the division:

21 ÷ 3 + 4 + 1 = 7 + 4 + 1

Finally, we perform the addition:

7 + 4 + 1 = 12

Therefore, the solution to the mathematical problem 21 ÷ 3 + 4 + |2-3| is 12.
solve the mathematical problem involving absolute value
|(1/2) (-8)|+|10-4|
GPT 3.5
To solve this problem involving absolute value, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, let's evaluate the expression inside the first absolute value:

|(1/2) (-8)| = | -4 | = 4

Next, let's evaluate the expression inside the second absolute value:

|10 - 4| = |6| = 6

Finally, let's add the absolute values:

4 + 6 = 10

Therefore, the solution to the mathematical problem |(1/2) (-8)| + |10-4| is 10.
