Answer:  The answer is yes.


Step-by-step explanation: According to Jaun, when we put together unequal groups, we can only add. We are to check whether he is correct or not.

Let us consider the addition of unequal groups and let the groups be linear polynomials (x-1), (x-2) and (x-3).

Then, adding these, we have

(x-1)+(x-3)+(x-4) = x-1+x-3+x-4 = 3x-8. Therefore, addition is the only thing that is possible here. We cannot multiply or use any other mathematical operation.

Again, let us consider the addition of equal groups (x-3), (x-3) and (x-3). Adding these, we have

(x-3)+(x-3)+(x-3) = 3x-9 = 3(x-3), i.e., addition can be written in multiplicative form too in case of equal groups.

Thus, when we put together unequal groups, addition is the only operation possible. Jaun is absolutely correct.

one rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. a second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units. are these two figures scaled versio
Amanda [17]

Answer: The both triangle are not scale version to each other.

Explanation:

It is given that the one rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. a second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units.

The two shapes are scaled version of each other if their corresponding sides are in same proportion. In other words the if two shapes scaled version of each then the shapes are similar.

The sides or first rectangle are 2 and 7. The measures of second rectangle are 11 and 37.

The proportion of small side is,

\frac{2}{11}

The proportion of large side is,

\frac{7}{37}

So,

\frac{2}{11}\neq \frac{7}{37}

Since the proportion are not equal, therefore  both triangle are not scale version to each other.

Principal clements wants to buy a pencil for each of the 57 fourth graders in her school. The pencils come in packages of 6. How
Scrat [10]

Principal clements needs to buy 10 packages

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Principal clements wants to buy a pencil for each of the 57 fourth graders in her school

The pencils come in packages of 6

Therefore,

Total number of students = 57

<em><u>Thus, divide 57 by 6 to get the number of packages clements need to buy</u></em>

\text{Number of packages } = \frac{\text{total number of students }}{6}<em><u></u></em>

<em><u>Substituting the given values we get,</u></em>

\text{Number of packages } = \frac{57}{6} \\\\\text{Number of packages }= 9.5 \approx 10

Thus principal clements needs to buy 10 packages
