Open-Ended Which of these situations can be represented by the opposite of 53? Use pencil and

paper. Describe two more situations that can be represented by the opposite of 53.

A book was 53 pages shorter than you expected.

Andrew spent $53.

The temperature was 53°F.

Jennifer sold 53 apples.

Select each situation that can be represented by the opposite of 53.

O A. Andrew spent $53.

OB. Jennifer sold 53 apples.

OC. A book was 53 pages shorter than you expected.

D. The temperature was 53°F.

The question proposed that we should determine which situation can be said to be the opposite of 53. From the listed option, we will realize that the following:

A book was 53 pages shorter than you expected

Jennifer sold 53 apples.

Andrew spent $53.

The above options are the opposite of 53. This is because a book that was shorter than expected will need to be refilled.

Suppose Jennifer has x apples, and She sold 53 apples out of it. It means x = -53, which is the opposite of 53.

Andrew spent $53; let say Andrew had y+$53. After spending $53, he has y = - $53, which is the opposite of 53.

But the temperature, which was 53°F, will still be at that position on the thermometer provided it is not being affected by external conditions.
