Answer:

a-b

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Dividing each part into 10 and then summing the results up, is equivalent to dividing 89.5 into 10.  

Step-by-step explanation:

This example refers to the Distributive Property of the division, which is valid when the dividend is decomposed.

A simple example could be: 400 ÷ 10 = (200 ÷ 10) + (200 ÷ 10)

In the exposed example we know that 89.5 = 80 + 9 + 0.5.

  • <u>Option 1</u>

(80/10) + (9/10) + (0.5/10) =

8 + 0.9 + 0.05=

8.95

  • <u>Option 2</u>

89.5/10 = 8.95
