What is the sum of the greatest and least numbers below: \[8\frac15, \qquad -8\frac25, \qquad -\frac{26}{3}, \qquad -\frac{54}7, \qquad \frac{53}{6}.\]

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of this question is to find the  sum of the greatest and least numbers below:

To do this ; we will need to find the decimal component of each of them and equate them on a number line before summing the greatest and least numbers.

Thus; the above decimal component of the fractions given are :

8.2, -8.4, -8.7 , -7.7 and 8.8

We are to find the sum of the greatest and the smallest number ; on a number line; we will realize that the positive side is greater than the negative side , As such the greatest number from the positive side will be 8.8 and the smallest number will be -7.7

The sum of 8.8 + ( -7.7 ) = 8.8 - 7.7

= 1.1

i.e

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,

combine all like terms then its just a 2 step equation
