) − 4.4 + 7.8Step 2: 6.2 + (− 1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8 (commutative property)Step 3: 6.2 − 6 + 7.8Step 4: −14 − 6 = 8 (commutative property)Step 5: 14 − 6 = 8 He wrote commutative instead of distributive in Step 4. He wrote commutative instead of distributive in Step 2. He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 4. He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

Formatting first:


Step 1: (6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 2: 6.2 + (− 1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8 (commutative property)

Step 3: 6.2 − 6 + 7.8

Step 4: −14 − 6 = 8 (commutative property)

Step 5: 14 − 6 = 8


Step 2 is the associative property (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

Step 4 is just wrong with -14 instead of 14; seems corrected in step 5.


Answer: He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

Explain how to model the division of –24 by –4 on a number line.
lianna [129]

Answer:

Here's one way to do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

-24 ÷ (-4)

-24 is the final number on the number line

-4 means you count by 4s on the number line moving backwards.

  1. Start at 0 facing forward.
  2. Move backwards in steps of four units from 0 to -24.
  3. Count the number of steps you took (six).

Answer: +6 (The sign is + because you are still facing forward).
