Which expression is equivalent to -0.2-4.9? Choose 1 answer: (A) -0.2+(-4.9) (B) -0.2+4.9 (c) 0.2-(-4.9) (D) -4.9+0.2

Understand the problem: Understand the problem. We need to find an expression that is equivalent to the given expression -0.2-4.9.Analyze the choices: Analyze the choices. (A) -0.2+(-4.9) is the same as -0.2-4.9 because adding a negative is the same as subtracting. (B) -0.2+4.9 changes the sign of the second term, which is not equivalent to the original expression. (C) 0.2-(-4.9) changes the sign of the first term and the operation with the second term, which is not equivalent to the original expression. (D) -4.9+0.2 changes the order of the terms, which would not affect the sum, but the signs of the numbers are not the same as in the original expression.Choose the correct expression: Choose the correct expression. The expression that is equivalent to -0.2-4.9 is (A) -0.2+(-4.9) because it represents the same operation and the same numbers with their respective signs.
