Find the quotients in each group below. is division commutative?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

- 2 ÷ 3 = - 0.667 and 3 ÷ (- 2) = - 1.5.

- 12 ÷ (- 4) = 3 and - 4 ÷ (- 12) = 0.333.

16 ÷ 8 = 2 and 8 ÷ 16 = 0.5.

Division is not commutative.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the quotients in each group as given in the attachment.

- 2 ÷ 3 = - 0.667 and 3 ÷ (- 2) = - 1.5. So, - 2 ÷ 3 ≠ 3 ÷ (- 2)

- 12 ÷ (- 4) = 3 and - 4 ÷ (- 12) = 0.333. So, - 12 ÷ (- 4) ≠ - 4 ÷ (- 12)

Now, 16 ÷ 8 = 2 and 8 ÷ 16 = 0.5. So, 16 ÷ 8 ≠ 8 ÷ 16

From the above examples, we can say division is not commutative. (Answer)

Answer:

a.70. b.50

Step-by-step explanation:

$7 \times 10 = 70$

Next we look at the net problem it is asking us how much is left we already know from the equation above that we need to subtract 70 from 120
$70 - 120 = 50$
We now have both answers A. being that she would have taken $70 in total out of her account and B. being that she would have $50 left in her account.
