How do you do r/12 =1.5 ??

Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

  multiply by 12: r = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the multiplication property of equality. It tells you that multiplying both sides of an equation by the same value does not change the values of any of the variables. Here we can multiply by 12 and we get ...

  r(12/12) = 1.5(12)

Now, the properties of the identity element for multiplication come into play. When we multiply r by 12/12=1, we do not change the value of r, so we can simplify this to ...

  r = 18

_____

We chose to multiply by 12 precisely because 12/12 = 1, and the result on the left side of the equation is r.

Ursula bought 9 dozen rolls of first aid tape for the health office. The rolls were divide equally into 4 boxes. How many rolls
vredina [299]
We know that 12 equals one dozen. It is not asking for a dozen, but for 9 dozen. So, we need to multiply 9 by 12. 9*12 = 108. 

It says the rolls of first aid tape were divided equally into 4 boxes. We need to divide these 108 rolls into 4 equal groups, since that is what took place in the problem. So, we divide 108 by 4. 
108/4 = 27. There are 27 rolls in each box.
