Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-8+-\frac{8}{11} ) + (-\frac{8}{12}) = -\frac{96}{11} + (-\frac{2}{3}) = -\frac{288 + 22}{33}) = -\frac{310}{33}\\ (-8) + (-\frac{8}{11} + (-\frac{2}{3})) = (-8) + (-\frac{46}{33})= -\frac{310}{33}

Answer:

The expression is true

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (a+b)+c = a+ (b+c) is an associative law. Given a = -8 , b = (-8/11) , c = (-8/12), we need to verify that the expression is true. To do that we need to substitute the values given into the right hand side and the also left hand side of the expression and the values gotten for both sides must be equal.

Given the left hand side to be (a+b)+c, substituting the values of a,b and c into the expression, we have:

{-8+(-8/11)}+(-8/12)

= (-8-(8/11))-8/12

= (-88-8)/11-8/12

= -96/11-8/12

= (-1152-88)/132

= -1240/132

= -620/-66

= -310/33

Similarly for the right hand side of the expression a+(b+c)

= -8+(-8/11+(-8/12))

= -8+(-8/11-8/12)

= -8+{(-96-88)/132}

= -8+(-184/132)

= (-1056-184)/132

= -1240/132

= -310/33

Since both expression are equal to -310/33, then the associative law given above is true.

How many 4 digit numbers consisting of only the digits 2,4,6 and 8 are divisible by 4
Blababa [14]

Answer:

  • digits used once: 12
  • repeated digits: 128

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a number to be divisible by 4, its last two digits must be divisible by 4. This will be the case if either of these conditions holds:

  • the ones digit is an even multiple of 2, and the tens digit is even
  • the ones digit is an odd multiple of 2, and the tens digit is odd.

We must count the ways these conditions can be met with the given digits.

__

Since we only have even numbers to work with, the ones digit must be an even multiple of 2: 4 or 8. (The tens digit cannot be odd.) The digits 4 and 8 comprise half of the available digits, so half of all possible numbers made from these digits will be divisible by 4.

<h3>digits used once</h3>

If the numbers must use each digit exactly once, there will be 4! = 24 of them. 24/2 = 12 of these 4-digit numbers will be divisible by 4.

<h3>repeated digits</h3>

Each of the four digits can have any of four values, so there will be 4^4 = 256 possible 4-digit numbers. Of these, 256/2 = 128 will be divisible by 4.
