Answer 3

use answer from the list

Answer 4

To find the additive inverse of a number, we take its opposite.

The opposite of -24 4/5 is 24 4/5.

So, -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 is equal to 24 4/5 + 6 7/10.

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.

The common denominator of 5 and 10 is 10.

Converting 4/5 and 7/10 to have a denominator of 10, we get:

4/5 = 8/10

7/10 = 7/10

Now we can add:

24 4/5 + 6 7/10 = 24 + 6 + 8/10 + 7/10

= 30 + 15/10

= 30 + 1 5/10

= 31 5/10

= 31 1/2

So, the answer is 31 1/2. Answer: 31.

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. When finding the additive inverse, we are indeed looking for the negative of the number.

The negative of -24 4/5 is 24 4/5.

So, the correct expression is 24 4/5 - 6 7/10.

Following the same steps as before, we find that:

24 4/5 - 6 7/10 = 24 + (-6) + 4/5 + (-7/10)

= 18 + 4/5 + (-7/10)

= 18 + 8/10 + (-7/10)

= 18 + 1/10

= 18 1/10

Therefore, the answer is 18 1/10.

Answer 6

Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct, we need to determine if the answer is negative or positive.

To find -24 4/5 - 6 7/10, we can find a common denominator and subtract the fractions.

The common denominator of 5 and 10 is 10.

Converting 4/5 and 7/10 to have a denominator of 10, we get:

4/5 = 8/10

7/10 = 7/10

Now we can subtract:

-24 4/5 - 6 7/10 = -24 - 6 + 8/10 - 7/10

= -30 + 1/10

So, the answer is -30 1/10.

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion. After reconsidering the available options, the correct answer from the given list would be:
