How does the associative property of multiplication help you to calculate products mentally?

For example, evaluate 17*5*20:
Method 1: (17*5)*20 = 85*20 = 1,700.
Method 2: 17*(5*20) = 17*100 = 1,700.
Notice that by first multiplying 5*20 to get 100, the calculation
is easy to do in your head.
You can also use the commutative property to rearrange a question:
5*21*4 = 5*4*21 = 20*21 = 420

Can someone explain/show me how to do this?Absolute Value Functions
otez555 [7]
Domain: The values that X could take, so domain = (-∞,+∞)

Range: The values that the dependant variable, f(x), could take. Since we can't get negative numbers, it'd be range = [0,+∞)

X and Y intercepts: The points in which you touch the axis. On this case the only one is the point (0,0).

Increasing and decreasing refers to the region where the function increases or decreases. It increases on (0,∞), and decreases on (-∞,0).

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean with "transformations", at least the way you're written it. If you give me a bit more of info, I'll do my best to help :)

The first question asks who sold more rolls. So start with figuring out how many Christie sold.
5 total - 1 2/3 left = 3 1/3 sold
you can convert the numbers to improper fractions with the same denominator. Like this:
5 x (3/3) - (3+2)/3
15/3 - 5/3 = 10/3
10/3 = 3 1/3

So now we know Christie sold more because 3 1/3 dozen is more than 2 1/2 dozen.

The part asks how many more.. Subtract the amounts the two girls sold.

3 1/3 - 2 1/2
10/3 x (2/2) - 5/2 x (3/3)
20/6 - 15/6 = 5/6

Christie sold 5/6 dozen more rolls. A dozen is 12 rolls so if you wanted to go further you just multiply 12 x 5/6 = 10 rolls
