450 / (3/8) = x / 1....450 ft to 3/8 hr = x ft to 1 hr
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(3/8)(x) = (450)(1)
3/8x = 450
x = 450 * 8/3
x = 3600/3 reduces to 1200

so the conveyor belt moves at the unit rate of 1200 ft per hr

Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate? (50points)

Naily [24]

The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5})$

The associative property states that for any three terms that are being multiplied, different order of multiplication (i.e. which two terms are multiplied first) will give the same answer.

Let a,b and c be the three terms

then

$a.(b.c) = (a.b).c$

So applying the associative property on given expression

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5}) = (8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Hence,

The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

There was a plate of cookies on the table. Amanda was hungry because she hadn't had breakfast, so she

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

10 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So in order to figure this out you have to work backwards. First, Daniel came and took a cookie. So when he took 1 there were 3 cookies available. Next Christine took one fourth of the cookies, meaning that the 3 available cookies are the remaining 3/4's. When she got there she took 1. Then Beth came and took 1/3. For it to be 3/3 there has to be 1 and 1/3 more cookies. Now there are 5 and 1/3 cookies. Amanda came and ate half of the cookies meaning that the amount of cookies we have now is the other half that she didnt eat. 5 and 1/3 plus 5 and 1/3 is 10 and 2/3. I hope this is correct.
