In this we will see about different number styles. In math we have different numbers. They are natural numbers, whole numbers, rational number, fractional numbers, integers, decimal numbers, and so on. In this below we will see about example problems using different number styles. Let us see about different number styles.
Example Problems for Different Number Styles:
Example problem 1: What is |-48|?
Solution:
The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0.
On a number line, -48 is 48 units to the left of 0.
The distance between -48 and 0 is 48 units.
So, |-48| is 48.
Answer: |-48| is 48.
Example problem 2: Ethan biked '19 1/3 ' miles on Saturday and '9 2/3 ' miles on Sunday. How much farther did Ethan bike on Saturday than on Sunday?
Solution:
Find how much farther Ethan biked on Saturday by subtracting '9 2/3' from '19 1/3' .
'19 1/3 - 9 2/3 =?'
Rewrite 19 1/3, so that you can subtract.
'19 1/3 = 18 + 3/3 + 1/3 = 18 4/3'
Now subtract. Remember to subtract whole numbers from whole numbers and fractions from fractions.
'18 4/3 - 9 2/3 = 9 2/3'
This answer is in simplest form.
Ethan biked '9 2/3' miles farther on Saturday than on Sunday.
Answer: Ethan biked '9 2/3' miles farther on Saturday than on Sunday.
Practice Problems for Different Number Styles:
Practice problem 1: If a cell phone costs 75.08 dollars, how much would it cost to buy 2 cell phones?
Practice problem 2: Alexander has '1/2' of a cup of powdered sugar. He sprinkles '1/2 ' of the sugar onto a plate of brownies and sprinkles the rest onto a plate of lemon cookies. How much sugar does Alexander sprinkle on the brownies?
Practice problem 3: Tom worked at a bake sale and sold 473 peach pies and 24 brownies. How many baked goods did he sell in all?
Practice problem 4: Tucker got on a train and traveled 6.96 miles. Then he switched to a different train and traveled 6.50 miles more. How far did Tucker travel in all?
Solutions for different number styles:
Solution 1: It would cost 150.16 dollars to buy 2 cell phones.
Solution 2: Alexander sprinkles '1/4' of a cup of sugar on the brownies.
Solution 3: He sold 497 baked goods in all.
Solution 4: Tucker traveled 13.46 miles.
