Question

Abraham needs one-half of a point to get an a minus in math. What rational number can be used to represent the number of points needed for Abraham to get an a minus.

Answer 1

Find the sum of P and Q if P equals 3 fourths and 2 equals negative, 11 fourths reduce your answer to the lowest term.

Answer 2

To represent the number of points needed for Abraham to get an A minus, we can use the rational number 1/2 or 0.5.

Answer 3

To find the sum of P and Q, we need to simplify the fractions and then add them together.

P = 3/4
Q = -11/4

To simplify the fractions, we can find the common denominator, which is 4.

P = 3/4
Q = -11/4

Now, we can add the fractions:

P + Q = (3/4) + (-11/4) = (3 - 11)/4 = -8/4 = -2

Thus, the sum of P and Q is -2.
