Question

If you are standing at (-1/2) and take five jumps to left, what will be the number? Also what will be the number when you add its additive inverse to the number you got after jumps?​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) (-11/2) or -5 1/2

ii) (-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Taking 5 jumps to the left means subtracting by 5

So we get--> (-1/2)-5

                   =(-1/2) - (10/2)

                   =(-1/2) + (-10/2)

                   =(-11/2) = -5 1/2

ii) Additive inverse of (-1/2) is 1/2

  So we get --> 1/2 + (-5 1/2)

                    --> 1/2+ (-11/2)

                       =(-10/2)

                       =(-5)

Hope this helps

                         

Answer 2

i) (-11/2) or -5 1/2

ii) (-5)

i) Taking 5 jumps to the left means subtracting by 5

So we get--> (-1/2)-5

=(-1/2) - (10/2)

=(-1/2) + (-10/2)

=(-11/2) = -5 1/2

ii) Additive inverse of (-1/2) is 1/2

 So we get

= 1/2 + (-5 1/2)

=1/2+ (-11/2)

=(-10/2)

=(-5)
