Negative subtraction becomes positive addition
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You can add the whole parts and fraction parts separately.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 17 3/10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You have \(-4+13\) and \(-\frac 15 + \frac 1{10}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right

So you have a whole part of \(9\) and a frational part of \(-\frac 1{10}\).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You can take \(1\) from the \(9\) to make the fraction part positive.
This gives you \(8\) and \(1-\frac 1{10} = \frac9{10}\).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer would be
\[8\frac{ 9 }{ 10 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes

Use absolute value to express the distance between −13 and 17 on the number line.
|−13 − 17| = −30
|−13 − 17| = 30
|−13 − 17| = −4
|−13 − 17| = 4

Alternatively, you can convert them to fractions first, then convert back when finished.

i got b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@wio
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b is right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
