Question

Which situation would best be repeated by positive 32?_____________________________O A. Decreasing the spend of a car by 32 miles per hourO B. Adding 32 books to a library O C. Spending 32 dollars O D. Dropping a rock 32 inches

Answer 1

We need to find the option that would best be represented by positive 32 (+32).

So we need to find which of the options represents a positive change in the amount.

In option A we have a decrease of speed by 32 miles per hour. Since this is a decrease, it cannot be represented by positive 32, instead, this option will be represented by negative 32.

In options C and D we have something similar to A, a decrease in amount, so those cannot be the right option.

In option B, however, we have an addition of 32 books to a library. Since this is an increase in the number of books, this is the option that would best be repeated by positive 32.

Answer: Option B. Adding 32 books to a library.
