Answer:
63 houses have been sold this year.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 81 houses in the community. If 7/9 are sold this year, then all you have to do is multiplication.
In this case, you would multiply 81 by 7/9 to get your answer.
81/1 x 7/9:
Cancel out the 9 and the 81. Then the denominator will be 1 x 1 and the numerator would be 7 x 9. It would be 63 (7x9=63) over 1 (1x1=1) which is just 63. Make sure to include units.
So you have to find something that multiples to six but also somehow either subtracts or adds to five. So I would pick 2 and 3 because two plus three is five. Then you would write out your equation
X2+2x+5x+6
This may not be the way your teacher taught however it is much easier for me to do it this way.
The answer is 2^12 = 4096.
Look at a tree diagram. With one spin there are two possible outcomes (branches). Every time you spin, each of the branches split into two more branches.
With 12 spins, first there are 2 branches, then 2*2, then 2*2*2, ... In the end it's 2^12
1+5=6 so 6/8
Simplifying 6/8 is 3/4
