. point B is located at 1/4.
. point Cis located at 3/4.
what location on the number line of the value of A- B + C

A. 0.

B. 1/2.

C. 1.

D. 1 1/2

1 answer

To find the location of the value \( A - B + C \), we first substitute the values of points A, B, and C:

  • \( A = -\frac{1}{2} \)
  • \( B = \frac{1}{4} \)
  • \( C = \frac{3}{4} \)

Now, we can compute \( A - B + C \):

\[ A - B + C = -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \]

First, we calculate \( -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} \):

To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4.

Convert \( -\frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 4:

\[ -\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{2}{4} \]

Now we can substitute this back:

\[ -\frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{3}{4} \]

Next, we add \( \frac{3}{4} \):

\[ -\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 0 \]

Thus, the value of \( A - B + C \) is \( 0 \).

The answer is:

A. 0.
