The commutative property of multiplication states that the numbers can be multiplied in any order.
a+b = b+a : Commutative property of addition
a*b = b*a : Commutative property of multiplication
a+0=a : Additive identity property
a*1 =a : Multiplicative identity property
Answer : a*b =b*a
0.5h(115 + 85) = 6550
0.5h(200) = 6550
100h = 6550
h = 655 cms
height is 655 cms
X+ y = 44
x - y = 6
—————
2x = 50
x = 25
y = 44-x = 19
Set up a proportion: 25/100 = 50/n where n = # of teens surveyed
Simplify fraction: 1/4 = 50/n
Cross multiply: n = 200
So 200 teens were surveyed.
You can multiply 16<span> by 3 (the only prime factor of </span>24<span> not shared by </span>16), to find the LCM<span>: 3 * </span>16<span> = 48</span>
-- So 48 is the answer
