On saturday, craig rode his bike 5/8 of a mile. on sunday, he rode his bike 1/2 of a mile. craig added 5/8 + 1/2 to find the total distance, in miles, he rode his bike on the two days. craig said 5/8 + 1/2 = 6/10 and plotted 6/10 on this number line. * explain why craig's answer is not responsible. * find the total distance, in miles, craig rode on his bike saturday and sunday. * explain how to use the number line to show your answer is correct.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

sorry i just need to anwers this to get points
