Subtraction of whole numbers is commutative. True or False

1 answer:

It is False.

If a property is commutative in subtraction it means: x - y is the same as y - x.

For example 5 - 3 = 2, but 3 - 5 = -2 so subtraction is not commutative.

But 5 + 3 = 8 , is the same as 3 + 5 = 8.

Addition is Commutative, but Subtraction is not commutative.

So the statement that subtraction of whole numbers is commutative is False.

A company manufactures cell phones. In August, a random sample of 125 cell phones was inspected, and 3 phones were found to be d

german

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many phones are expected to be defective, we need to represent the values in a fraction.

$\dfrac{x}{8000}=\dfrac{3}{125}$

x = number of defective phones

Now we can solve this using algebra.

To get the value of x we need to multiply both sides by 8000 to leave x alone.

$x=\dfrac{3}{125}(8000)$

$x=0.024(8000)$

$x=192$

So around 192 cell phones are expected to be defective out of 8000 phones.
