Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply -3 by 4 and then multiply the result of that by 5, or you could write -3, 4 and 5 in other orders (6 possible orders) and obtain the same result.
I would multiply (-3) by 4, obtaining -12, and then multiply this -12 by 5, obtaining -60. But I could also multiply 5 by 4, obtaining 20, and then multiply this 20 by -3, obtaining the same -60.
What I have described here are the commutative and associative properties of multiplication.
Answer:
42 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If it's a constant 12 miles per hour then it would be
12 mph x 3 hours = 36
then you would add that with the 1/2 hour for
12 mph x 1/2 hours = 6
36 + 6 = 42 miles traveled
It should be A. You would keep the 5, and the exponent should be 4+8, which is 12.
Formula for perimeter a+b+a+b
12+5+12+5= 17+17= 34 .34=P
So that is equal to 180 miles per 2 hours which is 90 miles per hour if each hour has the same m/hr rate.
You can set up a proportion:
let x = number of miles per hour

cross multiply and you get
2x=180
divide both sides by 2 and you get
x=90
so you get the same answer both ways,
90 miles per hour
