Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract a negative number, we can change its sign and add it to the first number. Therefore, 0.70 - (-0.52) becomes 0.70 + 0.52, which equals 1.22. Double negation (subtracting a negative number) is equivalent to addition, so we can rewrite the expression as 0.70 + 0.52 = 1.22. Therefore, the answer is choice A, 1.22.
