On Saturday Nikki and Tyler walked to the local farmers market Nikki bought 8 apples for $6 dollars and Tyler brought 3 fewer apples than Nikki. How much did Tyler spend on apples?
Tyler brought 8 apples - 3 apples = 5 apples.
To calculate the price of 5 apples we have to establish a proportion :
If 8 apples cost $6
Then 5 apples will cost $X
X = 5apples * $6/8apples = $3.75
Answer : Tyler spent on apples $3.75
Hope this helps!
Answer:
It is Commutative
Step-by-step explanation:
An operation ∆ is said to be Commutative if a∆b=b∆a ∀ a,b ∈ ℝ.
Given the operation ∆ defined by:
a∆b=a X b
a∆b=
=3
Similarly, for the right hand side.
Therefore:
b∆a=
=3
These are the two ways of solving this problem and we have in fact shown that the operation is commutative as:
a∆b=b∆a=3
