The practice problem answers are available at one of our IM Certified Partners

Problem 1

What is the final elevation if

1. A bird starts at 20 m and changes 16 m?
2. A butterfly starts at 20 m and changes -16 m?
3. A diver starts at 5 m and changes -16 m?
4. A whale starts at -9 m and changes 11 m?
5. A fish starts at -9 meters and changes -11 meters?

Problem 2

One of the particles in an atom is called an electron. It has a charge of -1. Another particle in an atom is a proton. It has charge of +1. The charge of an atom is the sum of the charges of the electrons and the protons. A carbon atom has an overall charge of 0, because it has 6 electrons and 6 protons and $$\text- 6 + 6 = 0$$. Find the overall charge for the rest of the elements on the list.

overall
charge
carbon -6 +6 0
neon -10 +10
oxide -10 +8
copper -27 +29
tin -50 +50

Problem 3

Add.

$$14.7 +28.9$$

$$\text-9.2 + 4.4$$

$$\text-81.4 + (\text-12)$$

$$51.8 + (\text-0.8)$$
