75.5 − 32.55
The difference between 75.5 and 32.55 is:
75.5 - 32.55 = 42.95
75.5 - 32.55 = 42.95
-3/2 + 8/5
To add the fractions -3/2 and 8/5, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator of 2 and 5 is 10.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 10:
-3/2 = (-3/2) * (5/5) = -15/10
8/5 = (8/5) * (2/2) = 16/10
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them:
-15/10 + 16/10 = (-15 + 16)/10 = 1/10
Therefore, -3/2 + 8/5 = 1/10.
The common denominator of 2 and 5 is 10.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 10:
-3/2 = (-3/2) * (5/5) = -15/10
8/5 = (8/5) * (2/2) = 16/10
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them:
-15/10 + 16/10 = (-15 + 16)/10 = 1/10
Therefore, -3/2 + 8/5 = 1/10.

B −25 + (−25) = 0−25 + (−25) = 0
C 89 − (−17) = 10689 − (−17) = 106
D 134 − (−16) = 118134 − (−16) = 118
E −39 − (−28) = −11
−39 − (−28) = −11
A 152 − 200 = −48
B −25 + (−25) = 0−25 + (−25) = 0
C 89 − (−17) = 10689 − (−17) = 106
D 134 − (−16) = 118134 − (−16) = 118
E −39 − (−28) = −11
−39 − (−28) = −11
The three correct evaluations are:
A) 152 - 200 = -48
B) -25 + (-25) = 0
D) 134 - (-16) = 118
A) 152 - 200 = -48
B) -25 + (-25) = 0
D) 134 - (-16) = 118
wrong
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's go through the options again:
A) 152 - 200 = -48: This evaluation is correct.
B) -25 + (-25) = 0: This evaluation is correct.
C) 89 - (-17) = 106: This evaluation is incorrect. The correct evaluation is: 89 - (-17) = 89 + 17 = 106.
D) 134 - (-16) = 118: This evaluation is correct.
E) -39 - (-28) = -11: This evaluation is incorrect. The correct evaluation is: -39 - (-28) = -39 + 28 = -11.
Therefore, the three correct evaluations are:
A) 152 - 200 = -48
B) -25 + (-25) = 0
D) 134 - (-16) = 118
A) 152 - 200 = -48: This evaluation is correct.
B) -25 + (-25) = 0: This evaluation is correct.
C) 89 - (-17) = 106: This evaluation is incorrect. The correct evaluation is: 89 - (-17) = 89 + 17 = 106.
D) 134 - (-16) = 118: This evaluation is correct.
E) -39 - (-28) = -11: This evaluation is incorrect. The correct evaluation is: -39 - (-28) = -39 + 28 = -11.
Therefore, the three correct evaluations are:
A) 152 - 200 = -48
B) -25 + (-25) = 0
D) 134 - (-16) = 118
−86.4 + 16.38.
To find the sum of -86.4 and 16.38, we add the two numbers:
-86.4 + 16.38 = -69.02.
-86.4 + 16.38 = -69.02.
