How are mixed numbers used in The real world

Mathematics

Jobisdone [24]3 years ago

Often, mixed number are used in terms of amounts of something. You would never say I have 16/5 pies. You would say I have 3 full pies and 1/5 of another pie. 

In this example, 3 1/5 is better to use than the improper 16/5

Hope this helps!

The number property that will justify the step in the following expression. 2(5 • 17) = (2 • 5) 17 = 10 • 17 = 170 is; Associative Property

<h3>What is the Number Property that was used?</h3>

The associative property is a math rule that says that the way in which factors are grouped in a multiplication problem does not change the product.

Now, this associative property is used here because we see that;

2(5 • 17) = (2 • 5) 17

In both left and right hand sides we see that despite the change in order, the result remains the same.

This month, Chun’s office produced 690 pounds of garbage. Chun wants to reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weig
Effectus [21]
Chun wants to <span>reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weight produced this month. 
This means that, Chun's garbage weight next month should be equal to 85% of his garbage weight this month.

Translating this into an equation, we will find that:
garbage weight next month = 85% of garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85 * garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85*690 
garbage weight next month = 586.5 pounds

Based on the above calculations, his target weight for the garbage next month is </span>586.5 pounds
