HMH Into Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 3 Answer Key Use a Number Line to Add and Subtract Rational Numbers 1
Answer:
Given,
Devin has a balance of —$9.50 on a credit card.
Cost of Dinner rolls = $0.50
Cost of Pizza dough = $3.00
Cost of Cinnamon bread = $4.50
To find:
Which two items can he purchase without his balance going below —$15.00?
-9.50 – (4.50) – (0.50)
-$9.50 – $4.50 – $0.50 = $14.50

Turn and Talk If the cinnamon bread was on sale for $2.00, could he purchase all three items? Explain.
Answer: Yes
Explanation:
Given,
Devin has a balance of —$9.50 on a credit card.
Cost of Dinner rolls = $0.50
Cost of Pizza dough = $3.00
Cost of Cinnamon bread = $2.00
-9.50 – 0.50 – 3.00 – 2 = -$15.00

A. Where is the ant on the number line now? ______
Answer:
Given,
An ant crawls onto the number line at +2.
It then crawls 3.5 centimeters left, 4.8 centimeters right, and 7.9 centimeters left.
2 – 3.5 = -1.5
-1.5 + 4.8 = 3.3
3.3 – 7.9 = -4.6
So, the ant is at -4.6 on the number line.

B. How far is it from its original position? _____
Answer:
Distance between initial and final location is
2 – (-4.6) = 6.6 cm

C. What is the total distance the ant crawled along the number line?

Question 7.
If the temperature was 0 °C and then there was a temperature change of +5 °C, what temperature change would return the temperature to 0 °C?
A. -10 °C
B. -5°C
C. 0 °C
D. 5°C
Answer:
If the temperature was 0 °C and then there was a temperature change of +5 °C
0 + 5 = 5
We need to subtract by 5 to return the temperature to 0 °C
5 – 5 = 0°C
Thus Option C is the correct answer.

Question 8.

A. \(\frac{1}{8}\)
B. \(\frac{3}{8}\)
C. \(\frac{5}{8}\)
D. \(\frac{7}{8}\)
Answer:
–\(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{5}{8}\) = (-1 + 1 + 5)/8 = \(\frac{5}{8}\)
Thus option C is the correct answer.

B. -15 + (+20) – (-10)
C. -15 – (+20) – (+10)
D. -15 – (-20) + (-10)
Answer:
D. -15 – (-20) + (-10)
From the above number line we can see that
-15 – (-20) + (-10)
-15 + 20 – 10 = 5 – 10 = -5
Thus option D is the correct answer.

Answer:
Given,
You make an initial deposit of $2,500 in an account that offers 6% simple interest per year.
P = 2500
T = 4
R = 6%
P(1 + Rt)
2500 (1 + 4 × 6%)
2500 (1 + 24%)
2500 (1 + 0.24)
2500 × 1.24 = 3100
Therefore there will be $3100 in the account after 4 years.
