Katie just opened a checking account at the bank. Within the first month, she deposited three checks for $21. $42.09, and $65.44. She withdrew $4.64 for new pencils, $23.11 for earbuds, and $9.78 for movies from her accent in the same month Write Katie's withdrawals as negative rational numbers and her deposits as positive rational numbers. how do I write numbers as a positive or negative rational number?

how do I write numbers as a positive or negative rational number?​

we know that

First month

Deposit

21+42.09+65.44=$128.53

withdrawals

4.64+23.11+9.78=$37.53

so

Deposits are writtten as positive rational numbers ------> +128.53

are positive because increase a checking account

withdrawals are written as negative rational numbers ------> -37.53

are negative , because decrease a checking account
