Q. Gabe is mapping out important family events. He uses negative numbers to represent time before he was born and positive numbers to represent time after he was born. For example, Gabe's mom was given a special coin in year 20-20, and Gabe's sister was born in year 77. \newlineWhat does year 00 represent? \newlineChoose 11 answer: \newline(A) The year Gabe's sister was born \newline(B) The year Gabe's mom was given a special coin \newline(C) The year Gabe was born
  1. Negative/Positive Numbers Representation: Gabe uses negative numbers to represent time before he was born and positive numbers to represent time after he was born. This means that year 00 would be the transition point between before Gabe was born (negative numbers) and after Gabe was born (positive numbers).
  2. Year 00 as Transition Point: Since year 00 is the point of transition, it cannot be the year Gabe's sister was born (year 77) or the year Gabe's mom was given a special coin (year 20-20). Therefore, year 00 must represent the year Gabe was born.
