Question 3 • Grade 7 Mathematics
Adding a negative number and a positive number means subtracting their absolute values and keeping the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. Since 356.1 is greater than 258.6, subtract: 356.1 − 258.6 = 97.5. The result is negative, so the sum is −97.5, choice B.
