Can someone solve this maths to match the answers . Figure 12.8. Exercise 12b No 2

The correct answers are as follows:
(a) +2m (b) -5m (c) +4m (d) +3m (e) -3m (f) -4m (g) -1m (h) +5m (i) 0 (j) +1m
The mistake is from the textbook. They used "1" to represent "+", and "2" to represent "-".

@ Mabella2550
Kudos!
First, you got all your answers right.
Secondly, you were able to identify the textbook as being the culprit.
Thirdly, if anybody cares to listen, you actually explained where the textbook got it wrong: mixing up their + and -.
Great job, Mabella2550

Lesson:
One should not totally trust textbooks.

BTW
Any hope in sight for school children in Primary schools?
Schools are not reopening soon.

Do you know any Grade 5 or Grade 6 pupil?
