If you're adding positive numbers together, then the order in which you write or group the addends doesn't matter.
If you're "adding" a negative number to a positive number, it's a little easier to visualize this problem if you write the positive number first, followed by the negative number.
But if you're "adding" -15 to 8, it'd make sense to write the -15 first (because its magnitude is greater) and then the 8: -15 + 8 = -7
Answer:
A program at a community college can be completed in no fewer than 8 months, but must be completed in less than 11 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The closed dot means the number is equal to and the open dot means the number is less/ greater than
2. The line goes right from the 8 with a closed dot, making x greater than or equal to 8
3. The line goes left from the 11 with an open dot, making x less than ll
4. This means the number must be equal to or greater than 8, and less than 11
We have to calculate speed for 1 lap for all of 'em.
Cutwright - 84/35 = 2.4 mins for 1 lap
Evans- 96.6/42 = 2.3 mins for 1 lap
Liza- 102.6/38 = 2.7 mins for 1 lap
So, EVANS drove fastest among them as he took less time...
