−7.39

Answer 1

To solve the expression \(-4.85 + (-2.54)\), you combine the two negative numbers:

\[ -4.85 + (-2.54) = -4.85 - 2.54 \]

Now, add the absolute values:

\[ 4.85 + 2.54 = 7.39 \]

Since both numbers were negative, the result will also be negative:

\[ -4.85 + (-2.54) = -7.39 \]

Therefore, the answer is:

−7.39

Answer 2

is that correct

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct.

The expression \(-4.85 + (-2.54)\) simplifies to \(-4.85 - 2.54\), which results in:

\[ 4.85 + 2.54 = 7.39 \]

Since both numbers are negative, the final result is:

\[ -7.39 \]

So the correct answer is indeed −7.39.

−4.44

Answer 5

To solve the expression \(4.6 + (-9.04)\), you can think of it as:

\[ 4.6 - 9.04 \]

Now, subtract \(9.04\) from \(4.6\):

1. Convert \(4.6\) to a fraction for easier subtraction: \[ 4.6 = 4.60 \]

2. Now perform the subtraction: \[ 4.60 - 9.04 = -4.44 \]

Therefore, the answer is −4.44.
