Answer:

Carlton thinks that converting metric units is as easy as moving the decimal point

Step-by-step explanation:

When you convert the unit, you move decimal point on your answer from the left to the right or from the right to the left the number of places as per relevant prefix.

Example:

1 meter = 1000 millimeters (1.0 m = 1000.0 mm)
1 milligram = 0.001 grams ( 1.0 mg = 0.001 g)

see attached for prefixes

Answer:

decimal point

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a metric unit, you are going to either multiply or divide.

Some examples include:

km/1000 = m
m/100 = cm
cm/10 = mm
mm*10 = cm
cm*100 = m
m*1000 = km

Best of Luck!

Question:-

Reika [66]

${\huge \underline{{ \fbox \color{red}{A}}{\fbox \color{green}{n}}{\fbox \color{purple}{s}}{\fbox \color{brown}{w}}{\fbox \color{yellow}{e}}{\fbox \color{gray}{r } }}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \bf \red{ \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{3}{4} }$

Step by step explanation :-

The only thing you have to do is add the numerator to the denominator, in this case you have to add the first ones from the front, which can be these 2+1/4, which would result in 3/4, and this is called the Commutative Property.

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{ \bf \gray{ \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{2} }}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{ \bf \green{\dfrac{2 + 1}{4} = \dfrac{1 + 2}{4} }}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed {\bf \blue{\dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{4}} }$

Answer :- The answer is 3/4

¿What is commutative property?

It is to change different ways in order of the addends the result would be the same.

Example :-

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed {\bf \blue{\dfrac{a}{b} + \dfrac{c}{d}} = {\dfrac{c}{d} + \dfrac{a}{b}} }$

Help!! 2x+3 (x-4)=x-20

prohojiy [21]

Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

2x+3(x-4)=x-20
first distribute
2x+3(x)+3(-4)=x-20
2x+3x-12=x-20
5x-12=x-20
minus x both sides
4x-12=-20
add 12 to both sides
4x=-8
divide both sides by 4
x=-2
