Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 1
Answer:
Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 1.1
It means that if you have a sum and want to take the opposite, for instance, -(7 + (-2)), you can rewrite it as the sum of each addend’s opposite, -7 + 2.

Example 2.
A Mixed Number Is a Sum
Use the number line model shown below to explain and write the opposite of 2\(\frac{2}{5}\) as a sum of two rational numbers.
Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 2
The opposite of a sum (top single arrow pointing left) and the sum of the opposites correspond to the same point on the number line.
Answer:
The opposite of 2\(\frac{2}{5}\) is -2 \(\frac{2}{5}\) .
-2 \(\frac{2}{5}\) written as the sum of two rational numbers is -2 + (-\(\frac{2}{5}\)).

Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Exercise Answer Key

Exercise 1.
Represent the following expression with a single rational number.
-2\(\frac{2}{5}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) – \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Answer:
Two Possible Methods:
-2\(\frac{8}{20}\) + 3\(\frac{5}{20}\) – \(\frac{12}{20}\)
–\(\frac{48}{20}\) + \(\frac{65}{20}\) – \(\frac{12}{20}\)
\(\frac{17}{20}\) – \(\frac{12}{20}\)
\(\frac{5}{20}\) or \(\frac{1}{4}\)

OR

-2\(\frac{2}{5}\) + 3\(\frac{1}{4}\) + (-\(\frac{3}{5}\))
-2\(\frac{2}{5}\) + (-\(\frac{3}{5}\)) + 3\(\frac{1}{4}\) commutative property
-2\(\frac{5}{5}\) + 3\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-3 + 3\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Exercise 2.
Rewrite each mixed number as the sum of two signed numbers.
a. -9\(\frac{5}{8}\)
Answer:
-9 + (-\(\frac{5}{8}\) )

b. -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer:
-2 + (-\(\frac{1}{2}\) )

c. 8\(\frac{11}{12}\)
8 + \(\frac{11}{12}\)

Exercise 3.
Represent each sum as a mixed number.
a. -1 + (-\(\frac{5}{12}\))
Answer:
-1 \(\frac{5}{12}\)

b. 30 + \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Answer:
30\(\frac{1}{8}\)

c. -17 + (-\(\frac{1}{9}\) )
-17 \(\frac{1}{9}\)

Note: Exercises 3 and 4 are designed to provide students with an opportunity to practice writing mixed numbers as sums so they can do so as the need arises in more complicated problems.

Exercise 4.
Mr. Mitchell lost 10 pounds over the summer by jogging each week. By winter, he had gained 5 \(\frac{1}{8}\) pounds. Represent this situation with an expression involving signed numbers. What is the overall change in Mr. Mitchell’s weight?
Answer:
-10 + 5 \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= -10 + 5 + \(\frac{1}{8}\)
=(-10 + 5) + \(\frac{1}{8}\)
=(-5) + \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= -4\(\frac{7}{8}\)
Mr. Mitchell’s weight dropped by 4 \(\frac{7}{8}\) pounds.

Exercise 5.
Jamal is completing a math problem and represents the expression -5\(\frac{5}{7}\) + 8 – 3\(\frac{2}{7}\) with a single rational number as shown in the steps below. Justify each of Jamal’s steps. Then, show another way to solve the problem.
= -5 \(\frac{5}{7}\) + 8 + (-3 \(\frac{2}{7}\) )
= -5 \(\frac{5}{7}\) + (-3 \(\frac{2}{7}\) ) + 8
= -5 + (-\(\frac{5}{7}\) ) + (-3) + (-\(\frac{2}{7}\) ) + 8
= -5 + (-\(\frac{5}{7}\) ) + (-\(\frac{2}{7}\) ) + (-3) + 8
= -5 + (-1) + (-3) + 8
= -6 + (-3) + 8
= (-9) + 8
= -1
Answer:
Step 1: Subtracting a number is the same as adding its inverse.
Step 2: Apply the commutative property of addition.
Step 3: The opposite of a sum is the sum of its opposites.
Step 4: Apply the commutative property of addition.
Step 5: Apply the associative property of addition.
(-\(\frac{5}{7}\)) + (-\(\frac{2}{7}\) ) = (-\(\frac{7}{7}\) )= -1
Step 6: -5 + (-1) = -6
Step 7: -6 + -3 = -9
Step 8: -9 + 8= -1
Answers will vary for other methods of reaching a single rational number. Students may choose to add -5 \(\frac{5}{7}\) and 8 together first, but a common mistake is to represent their sum as 3 \(\frac{5}{7}\) , rather than 2 \(\frac{2}{7}\) .

-10 + 5.75 = -4.25. The overall change in the amount of money Jolene has is -4.25 dollars.

Question 8.
Isaiah is completing a math problem and is at the last step: 25 – 28\(\frac{1}{5}\). What is the answer? Show your work.

(3 + 4) + (-3 + -4) = 7 + (-7) = 0

b. (-8 + 1) + (8 + (- 1))
Answer:
(-8 + 1) + (8 + (- 1)) = (-7) + 7 = 0

c. (-\(\frac{1}{2}\) + (-\(\frac{1}{4}\) )) + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) )
Answer:
(-\(\frac{1}{2}\) + (-\(\frac{1}{4}\) )) + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) ) = (-\(\frac{3}{4}\) ) + \(\frac{3}{4}\) =0

Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Exit Ticket Answer Key

Mariah and Shane both started to work on a math problem and were comparing their work in math class. Are both of their representations correct? Explain, and finish the math problem correctly to arrive at the correct answer.
Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 8 Exit Ticket Answer Key 10
Mariah started the problem as follows:
-5 – (-1\(\frac{3}{4}\) )
= -5 + 1 – \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Shane started the problem as follows:
-5 – (-1\(\frac{3}{4}\) )
= -5 + (1 \(\frac{3}{4}\))
= -5 + (1 + \(\frac{3}{4}\))
Answer:
Shane’s method is correct. In Mariah’s math work, she only dealt with part of the mixed number. The fractional part should have been positive too because the opposite of -1 \(\frac{3}{4}\) is 1 \(\frac{3}{4}\) , which contains both a positive 1 and a positive \(\frac{3}{4}\) .
The correct work would be
-5 – (-1\(\frac{3}{4}\)) = -5 + (1 \(\frac{3}{4}\)) = -5 + (1 + \(\frac{3}{4}\)) = (-5 + 1) + \(\frac{3}{4}\) = -4 + \(\frac{3}{4}\) = -3\(\frac{1}{4}\) .
The rational number would be -3 \(\frac{1}{4}\) , which means Jessica’s friend gave away 3 \(\frac{1}{4}\) dollars, or $3.25.
