Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.
The answer is 1.5 or 1 1/2.
here is the how you get this answer.
1: Cross Multiply (1.2)(60)=x
2: divide x by 48
3: you should get 1.5 or 3/2
BTW x is equal to 72
4 1/5 should be your answer
The Associative Property say that it doesn't matter how we group the numbers (i.e. which we calculate first) when we add
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
The Commutative Property say we can swap numbers over and still get the same answer when we add
a + b = b + a
The Distributive Property:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
------------------------------------------
-3a + 4b + 5a + (-7b) = -3a + 5a + 4b + (-7b)
<h3>Answer: the commutative property</h3>
