Answer:

£78

Step-by-step explanation:

P:B:C

P=2B=6C

B=3C

= 6:3:1, 6+3+1 = 10 so £130 divided by 10= £13=1

= 6x£13 : 3x£13 : £13

= £78 : £39 : £13

This means Paul gets £78

Use decimals and fractions in the same equation showing the Commutative Property. Repeat for the Associative Property.

Anna71 [15]

For Commutative Property of Addition

Let us take a decimal number $2.14$ and a fraction $\frac{5}{20}$

Now, according to the Commutative property of Addition:

For any two numbers $a$ and $b$ :

$a+b = b+a$

So, for $2.14$ and $\frac{5}{20}$

Let us add

$2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{214}{100} +\frac{5}{20}$

$=\frac{214}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} \\ \\=\frac{214}{100} + \frac{25}{100} \\ \\= 2.14 + 0.25 \\ \\ = 2.39$

Also,

$\frac{5}{20} + 2.14 = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{214}{100}$

$= \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} +\frac{214}{100} \\ \\= \frac{25}{100} + \frac{214}{100} \\ \\= 0.25 + 2.14 \\ \\ = 2.39$

Therefore, $2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14$

Hence, Commutative Property of Addition is satisfied.

For Associated Property of Addition

Let us take two same decimal numbers $2.14$ , $7.25$ and a fraction $\frac{5}{20}$

Now, according to the Associated property of Addition:

For any three numbers $a$ , $b$ and $c$

$a + (b+c) =(a+b) + c$

So, for $2.14$ , $7.25$ and $\frac{5}{20}$

The Left hand side:

$a + (b+c)$

$2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20}) = 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20\times 5})$

$= 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{25 }{100})$

$= 2.14 + (\frac{750}{100} )$

$= \frac{214}{100} + \frac{750}{100}$

$= \frac{964}{100}$

$=9.64$

The Right hand side:

$(a + b )+c$

$(2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}= ( 9.39 ) + \frac{5 }{20}$

$= 9.39 + \frac{5 \times 5 }{20 \times 5}$

$= 9.39 + \frac{25}{100}$

$= 9.39 + 0.25$

$= 9.64$

Thus,

$(2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20} )= (2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}$

Therefore, $2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14$

Hence, Associative Property of Addition is satisfied.

Solve x^2-11x=0, for x

ser-zykov [4K]

Start by factoring an x term out of the equation:

x(x-11)=0

Now, you can set each term equal to zero and solve for x:

x=0

x-11=0

x=11

x={0, 11}

Hope this helps!!
