Emma wants to use the distributive property to solve this equation.

The property states that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same number (of course it can't be zero). So, since we want to solve for $x$ , but the equation involves $5x$ , if we divided both sides by $5$ we would isolate $x$ . In fact, the equation becomes

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{40}{5} \iff x=8$

And we have solved the equation, because we found the correct value of $x$ .

the answer is x= 8, because 5 divided by 40 is 8

Calculate the unit rate: write your answer as a decimal 1/2 mile in ever 1/3 hour

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

$unit \: rate = \frac{distance}{time}$

unit rate is similar to speed / velocity:

$unit \: rate = \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} )}{ (\frac{1}{3})} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{1} \\ \\ = > { \boxed{ \boxed{unit \: rate = \frac{3}{2} \: miles \: per \: hour}}}$

[unit rate must have units including per <time> ]
