Final answer:
To determine which expression has the least value, the sum of numbers in each expression is calculated. Expression D) -80 + (-60) + (-41), equates to -181, which is the smallest sum and thus has the least value.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the expression with the least value, we need to calculate the value of each expression. Let's evaluate each option:
A) -100+(-20)+(-30) = -150
B) -20+(-100)+(-40) = -160
C) -20+(-40)+(-120) = -180
D) -80+(-60)+(-41) = -181
Therefore, the expression with the least value is option D) -80+(-60)+(-41).
To find which of the expressions has the least value, we need to calculate the sum of the numbers in each expression. Here are the computations:
- A) -100 + (-20) + (-30) = -150
- B) -20 + (-100) + (-40) = -160
- C) -20 + (-40) + (-120) = -180
- D) -80 + (-60) + (-41) = -181
Now, by comparing the values, we can see that expression D has the smallest sum, and therefore, has the least value.
