On Saturday, you spent $12 at the movies. The next day, you spent $7

on food. How much money did you spend? Using integers, create a
number line to justify your reasoning.

Answer:

you spend $19 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the answer you just add $12 + $7 = $19.

I couldn't make a number line but I will just explain how to do it.

  1. draw a number line
  2. write 0 - 20 on it (or honestly whatever numbers you want, depending on how big you want your number line and if you want to include negative numbers on it)
  3. find number 12 and circle it
  4. then count up 7 (so 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 , 19.)
  5. then you can circle 19.
  6. this is optional but you can draw a rounded arrow from 12 to 19 and write +7 on it to explain that you added 7

I hope you get this right, wish you luck! I worked hard on my explanation lol
