Yes "3x8 = 4x6" does illustrate the commutative property of multiplication.
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
15 nuts do not get found.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found.
Total number of nuts squirrel had hidden = 40
Proportion of nuts not found to total = 3/(3+5) = 3/8
Hence out of 40, nuts not found =3/8(40) = 15 nuts.
15 nuts would not be found and 25 nuts would be found if squirrel had hidden in total 40 nuts.
This is because the proportion of found:unfound = 5:3
Hence 25:!5 =5:3 satisfies this
15 nuts are not found.
area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
Hi! The answer for the first one is 500
50 times 9=450
10% is 50
50 times 10= 500
The original price was 500.
The discount was $50
For the second one the answer is $10
The discount was $7
10-7=3
10% is 1 , 30% is 3 and 70% is 7
