Which statement about this difference is true? 0.22 - (-5/8)

AIt is less than 1 because 0.22 + 5/8 is less than 1/4 + 3/4

BIt is greater than 1 because 2/2 is equal ti 1, and 1 + 5/8 is greater than 1

CIt is less than 0 because a greater number is being subtracted from a lessr number

DIt is equal to 5/8 because 0.22 rounded to the nearest whole number is 0, and 0 - (-5/8) = 0 + 5/8

two negatives make a positive so the question actually reads 0.22 + (5/8) = 0.22 + 0.625 = 0.845

therefore the answer is A because 0.845 is less than 1 (1/4 + 3/4 = 1)

Answer : The correct option is, (A) It is less than 1 because 0.22 + 5/8 is less than 1/4 + 3/4

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the expression as:

\(0.22-(-\frac{5}{8})\)

By solving the expression, we get:

\(0.22+(\frac{5}{8})\)

\(0.22+0.625\)

\(0.845\)

From this we conclude that, the value of given expression is less than 1 because 0.22 + 5/8 is less than 1/4 + 3/4.

\(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{4}\)

\(=\frac{1+3}{4}\)

\(=\frac{4}{4}\)

\(=1\)

Hence, the correct option is, (A)
