Honestly I can see an argument for 7 shelves or for 8 shelves. 

When you do the calculation; \frac{422}{59}=7.15 You get 7.15 shelves. Clearly you cannot have .15 of a shelf so the logician in me wants to say you need 8 shelves! 

But if the assignment is aimed estimation skills, (Which is what I assume is being implied by the title of the assignment), then the easier calculation of \frac{420}{60}=7 is probably what the teacher was hoping for.

You might have been accidentally been calculating \frac{59}{422} =.139. Remember division is NOT communitive! i.e.1\div2\neq2\div1.

From the image;
The first step was to see that 59 can not go into 4..resulting in the zero above the 4, multiplying 0 by 59 and subtracting 0 from 4. 

The second step begins by bringing down the 2, seeing that 59 can not go into 42..resulting in the zero above the 2, multiplying 0 by 59 and subtracting 0 from 42.

The third step begins by bringing down the 2, seeing that 59 can go into 422 7 times (I tested this on the right by a short multiplication problem)..resulting in the 7 above the 2, multiplying 7 by 59 and subtracting 413 from 42.

This process continues....

\frac{422}{59}\approx7.15
You have to round it up. So it will be 8 shelves.

Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states a(b+c)=a*b+a*c. This property states that when you multiply more than one thing, you must be sure to multiply everything. When you order fast food combos, you do the distribution property to receive the correct order.

If I order 3 Happy Meals, then I will receive

3(hamburgers +fries + drinks +toys)

3 hamburgers+3 fries+3 drinks+3 toys.

If I don't, then I have broken the distribution property.
