Find one positive difference between the sum of 1.6 and 2, and the product of 7 and 0.4.

[tex]\[
\begin{aligned}
\text{difference} &= (1.6 + 2) - (7 \times 0.4) \\
&= 3.6 - 2.8 \\
&= 0.8

Exercise 2c:
In this exercise, take 'difference' to mean 'positive difference'.

1. Find the difference between 63 and the product of 10 and 5.


Sagot :

Let's break down the problem step-by-step to find the positive difference between the given values.

1. Identify the given values:
- First Number: [tex]\( 63 \)[/tex]
- Multiplicands: [tex]\( 10 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex]

2. Calculate the product of the two multiplicands:
[tex]\( 10 \times 5 = 50 \)[/tex]

3. Calculate the positive difference between the first number and the product:
- Difference: [tex]\( 63 - 50 \)[/tex]
- Positive Difference: [tex]\( |63 - 50| = 13 \)[/tex]

So, the product of 10 and 5 is [tex]\( 50 \)[/tex], and the positive difference between 63 and 50 is [tex]\( 13 \)[/tex].

Thus, the solution is:
- Product: [tex]\( 50 \)[/tex]
- Positive Difference: [tex]\( 13 \)[/tex]
