Properties of equality have nothing to do with it. The associative and commutative properties of multiplication are used (along with the distributive property and the fact of arithmetic: 9 = 10 - 1).

All of these problems make use of the strategy, "look at what you have before you start work."


1. = (4·5)·(-3) = 20·(-3) = -60 . . . . if you know factors of 60, you can do this any way you like. It is convenient to ignore the sign until the final result.

2. = (2.25·4)·23 = 9·23 = 23·10 -23 = 230 -23 = 207 . . . . multiplication by 4 can clear the fraction in 2 1/4, so we choose to do that first. Multiplication by 9 can be done with a subtraction that is often easier than using ×9 facts.

4. = (2·5)·12·(-1) = 10·12·(-1) = (-1)·120 = -120 . . . . multiplying by 10 is about the easiest, so it is convenient to identify the factors of 10 and use them first. Again, it is convenient to ignore the sign until the end.

5. = 0 . . . . when a factor is zero, the product is zero

3/4=j-1/2 solve the equation check your solution
DIA [1.3K]
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j 
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so 
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j 
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so 
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so 
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j =  5/4

Write each decimal as a fraction in lowest terms <br><br> 0.255
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

51/200

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a decimal as a fraction, you have to make the decimal the numerator, and put a multiple of ten with that number of zeroes in the denominator:

0.255 = 255/1000

Then we simplify

51/200
