Assignment: Real Life Negatives A
Welcome to the "real" world (as real as it gets in these examples) of negative integers. Today you are to focus on what you are doing not how you write it.
*Note - I did not give you the answer to #1, so your task is to find it in any way you want to - ask around, Google it, whatever works for you! The bottom line is, you need to have the answer and it needs to be correct. ;-)
Mo's advice:
*First commute! Drive those numbers around until they find where they ...
*Associate! Remember that these numbers only want to associate (or hang with) numbers with the same "value." They're not all that friendly, eh? So if you go down the steps at Hogwarts, all of those downward steps are collected in one place and all of the times you go up are collected in the other. Make it simple.
*The rest of it is up to you. Figure out how to decide whether you have a profit or loss, whether you end up above ground or below ground, etc. Think about how you know that then figure out how to get to that answer. If you're stuck, remember the cowboys: who wins? How did you decide that? Same thing, now the numbers are bigger and there are more of them.
*And yes, labels are important ...
* I do have a copy of this assignment and here it is!
