Answer:
The directions for a homemade glass cleaner call for 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water. Mr. Gilbert mixed 2 cups of vinegar with 5 cups of water. Did he use a correct ratio of vinegar to water? Explain.
Your breaking the problem down.
8 x (40 + 7)
You notice how in the second part of the equation, the (8 x 7) the 40 is not there?
Your answer will be 8 x (40 + 7) = (8 x 40) + (8 x 7)
4a+2-3c+6+7c-3-3b+2a-5b you can combine 4a and 2a to get 6a
6a+2-3c+6+7c-3-3b-5b you can combine 5b and 3b to get -8b
6a+2-3c+6+7c-3-8b you can combine 3 and 2 and 6 to get 5
6a+5-3c+7c-8b you can combine 3c and 7c to get 4c
6a+5+4c-8b
1 1/3 + 5 2/9 = first find the lowest common denominator = 9
1 3/9 + 5 2/9 = 6 5/9
