She gave 1/3 of cookies for her husband 1/4 of the cookies to her son and 1/6 of a cookies to her neighbor she ate the remaining

beks73 [17]

She made 15 cookies

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of cookies she made

She gave 1/3 of cookies for her husband

Therefore,

$Husband = \frac{1}{3}x$

Find the remaining

$Remaining = x - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{3x-x}{3} = \frac{2x}{3}$

1/4 of the cookies to her son

Therefore,

$son = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2x}{3} = \frac{x}{6}$

Now again find the remaining

$Remaining = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{x}{6} = \frac{x}{2}$

1/6 of a cookies to her neighbor

$Neighbor = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{12}$

Now again find the remaining

$Remaining = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{12} = \frac{5x}{12}$

She ate the remaining six cookies

Therefore,

$\frac{5x}{12} = 6\\\\5x = 72\\\\x = 14.4$

Thus she made approximately 15 cookies

Use the commutative or associative property to simplify the expression. 1/3(3y)

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Associative property is when we change the order of the bracket / can solve any order

So 1/3(3y)

= (1/3x 3)y

= 3/3y

= 1y or simply y
