Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.
The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
Since absolute value is just taking the positive value of whatever you put in the function, it is 7.8 as well. Also, absolute value can be described as the distance from 0 on the number line. 7.8 is 7.8 "units" away from 0, thus meaning it is equal to 7.8.
Answer:
