Explanation:

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Answer 2

The results are:

a)
`\(-1,069\)`

b)
`\(6,489\)`

a) The calculation for
`\(-10,752 + 9,683\)` is as follows:

Step 1: Identify the signs. One number is negative and the other is positive.

Step 2: Subtract the smaller number from the larger number without considering the signs.

`\[ 10,752 - 9,683 = 1,069 \]`

Step 3: Since the larger number was negative, the result is negative.

`\[ -10,752 + 9,683 = -1,069 \]`

b) The calculation for
`\(652 - (-5,837)\)`is as follows:

Step 1: Identify the signs. The subtraction of a negative number is equivalent to addition.

Step 2: Add the two numbers ignoring the negative sign on the second number.

`\[ 652 + 5,837 = 6,489 \]`

Therefore, the results are:

a)
`\(-1,069\)`

b)
`\(6,489\)`
