If an ant has six legs, then:

Two ants have 12 legs
Three ants have 18 legs
Four ants have 24 legs
Five ants have 30 legs
Six ants have 36 legs
Seven ants have 42 legs
Eight ants have 48 legs
Nine ants have 54 legs

So, if you saw between 35 and 50 legs, there are between six and eight ants.

Jack broke apart 5x216 as (5x200)+(5x16) to multiply mentally. What strategy did Jack use?

Sveta_85 [38]

For this case we have the following multiplication:

$5 * 216$

We can rewrite this multiplication in the following way:

$5 * (200 + 16)$

From here, we apply the distributive property.

We have then:

$(5 * 200) + (5 * 16)$

Therefore, Jack's strategy is:

Write the number in an expanded form and then apply the distributive property.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}$
