Two number are opposite because they are the ___from __on a number line

Answer and explanation:

Two number are opposite because they are the same distance from zero on a number line

Opposite numbers on a number line have same absolute values but different signs: negative and positive. Negative numbers are left of 0 on the number line while positive numbers are right of the number line. Example an opposite of 8 on the number line is -8

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
