Answer:

C. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the product.

The stated distributive property shows that option C. is correct

C. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3.

To confirm the claim of this option, let's multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3.

Term: 3(x + 4) = 36

Multiply: 3*x + 3 * 4 = 36

=> 3x + 12 = 36

Collect like terms

3x = 36 - 12

3x = 24

Divide through by 3

3x/3 = 24/3

x = 24/3

x = 8

Hence, it's shown that to solve this expression, we have to multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3.

Let's see what we're working on here

$\frac{1}{2} - 2(m) =?$
? = 0
$Simplify this →$ $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}2y} - 2(m) = ?$

$\frac{2(m)(2)}{2}$

$\frac{1 - 4(m)}{2} = ?$

$\frac{1 - 4(m)}{2} = 2$

$-4(m) + 1 = 0$
Subtract ( - )the number 1 from each of your sides on this part

4(m) = 1
Multiply( ×) the number -1 to your sides for this part of the equation

Therefore, the value of m is $\frac{1}{4}$
$m = \frac{1}{4}$

Alvin takes pictures with his smartphone. Of the pictures 5/6 are animals. 3/4 of the animals are dogs. What fraction of the pic

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alvin takes pictures with his smartphone.

Of the pictures $\frac{5}{6}$ are animals.

$\frac{3}{4}$ of the animals are dogs.

To find which fraction of all pictures are pictures with dogs, you can simply multiply two fractions:

$\dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{15}{24} =\dfrac{5}{8}$

Another way to solve this question:

Let the number of all pictures be 24 (divisible by both 4 and 6).

Then the number of pictures with animals is

$\dfrac{5}{6} \times 24=5\times 4=20$

and the number of pictures with dogs is

$\dfrac{3}{4} \times 20=3\times 15$

Hence, the fraction of pictures with dogs of all pictures is

$\dfrac{15}{24}=\dfrac{5}{8}$
