Question

Let a = -4.82 and b = 4.35. All of the following statements are true except

The sum of a and b is negative.
The product of a and - b is positive.
The quotient of a and - b is the same as the quotient of - a and b.
The distance between a and b on the number line is 0.47 units.

Answer 1

the sum of -4.82 and 4.35 = -0.47

so a is correct

the product of -4.82 and 4.35 = -20.967

so b is incorrect

the quotient of -4.82 and -4.35 is 1.10804597701

the quotient of 4.82 and 4.35 is 1.10804597701

so c is correct

if we subtract 4.35 from -4.82 we get -9.17

so d is incorrect
