The distributive property is a(b+c) = ab + ac or a(b-c) = ab - ac
So here are some potential answers:
8(50 + 4) = 8·50 + 8·4
8(60 - 6) = 8·60 - 8·6
I prefer the first answer
Answer:
52/ 10 = 5 2/10 or 5 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
first turn the mixed fractions into improper fraction
13 1/10= 131/10
7 9/10= 79/10
since the two fractions already have a common denominator just subtract
131 - 79 = 52
52/ 10 = 5 2/10 or 5 1/5
Answer:
a positive even number.
Step-by-step explanation:
I suggest plugging in random positive even numbers and finding a pattern. (-12)^2 = 144. (-12)^ 4= 20,736. this is because two negatives, when multiplied, turn to a positive. the n is how many times negative 12 is multiplied with itself
Answer:
56.25 pound of the coffee that costs $5 per pound is needed
18.75 pound of the coffee that costs $9 per pound is needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds be x and y respectively
The total pounds is 75;
So;
x + y. = 75 •••••••(i)
Total cost of first type
9 * x = $9x
Total cost of second type;
5 * y= $5y
75 pound at $6 per pound; total cost of this is;
6 * 75 = $450
Thus;
9x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(ii)
From i, x = 75-y
Put this into ii
9(75-y) + 5y = 450
675 -9y + 5y = 450
4y = 675-450
4y = 225
y = 225/4
y = 56.25
x = 75 - y from i
x = 75-56.25
x = $18.75
The solution for this problem is:
If there is 60 platters of B at a cost of $720:
(220 - 60 x 3) / 4 = 10 platters of A to make up for the deficit in hamburgers
(270 - 60 x 4) / 3 = 10 platters of A to make up for the deficit in hot dogs
(250 - 60 x 5) / 2 = 0 platters of A since there is no deficit in pigs feet
So 10 platters A are required at a cost of $150. $720 + $150 = for a total minimum cost of $870.
