Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-8.3+9.2-4.4+3.7 john has used his first step as -8.3+9.2+4.4+3.7.

He has use additive inverse as their is no information is given about the additive inverse -4.4 can not be converted +4.4 .this is his incorrect step.

So, the correct steps are

-8.3+9.2-4.4+3.7

= (-8.3-4.4)+(9.2+3.7)

= -12.7+12.9

= 0.2

Hence, there is need to change the step  !.

Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Additive inverse; you can't just take -4.4 and make it positive.

Jamaica is considering buying either a car which goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas, or a truck that goes 10 miles on a gallon of
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: if he drives the car each month, he would spend $150 lesser than when he drives the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/25 = 40 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a car, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 40 = $100

The truck goes 10 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/10 = 100 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a truck, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 100 = $250

The difference between both costs is

250 - 100 = $150

1/6,1/9,2/27,4/81 geometric sequence next value?
Blababa [14]
If you would like to know the next value, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/6, 1/9, 2/27, 4/81, x = ?

1/9 / 1/6 = 1/9 * 6 = 6/9 = 2/3

So, if we would like to know what is the next value of this geometric sequence, you have to multiply 4/81 by 2/3:
4/81 * 2/3 = 8/243

The correct result would be 8/243.
