To determine which situations combine to make zero, we need to look for scenarios where there is a complete offset of an action or a value.
Let's analyze each option:
A. Max runs six miles in total (three miles in the morning and three miles in the evening). This does not combine to make zero; it results in a total distance of six miles.
B. Margie spends $90 on repairs and then spends another $90 on fuel. She has spent $180 in total. This does not combine to make zero; it results in a total expenditure of $180.
C. Harmony deposits $250 into her bank account and then withdraws the same amount, $250. The deposit and withdrawal completely offset each other, resulting in a net balance change of zero. This situation combines to make zero.
D. Dan adds two pints of a liquid mix initially and then adds another two pints after kneading. This results in a total of four pints added, not zero.
Out of these options, **C** is the situation that combines to make zero, as the deposit and withdrawal cancel each other out.
