The statement below describes a situation in which opposite quantities combine to make zero: a cup with a hole in it loses 2 ounces of water in the first minute and then loses 2 ounces of water in the second minute.

true

false

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A cup with a hole in it loses 2 ounces of water in the first minute. This mathematically means

Add -2 (loses ⇒ means getting less)

Then the cup loses 2 ounces of water in the second minute. This mathematically means

Add -2 (loses ⇒ means getting less)

In total,

and means loses 4 ounces in two minutes.

Thus, the statement below does not describe a situation in which opposite quantities combine to make zero, so this statement is false

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
