Hilda was simplifying some numerical expressions and made each of the following sequences of calculations. Name the mathematical

property, operation, or idea that justifies how Hilda went from each step to the next step, some of the steps are done for you. Look at the Math Notes found on page 190 for definitions. Problem
Problem 1: 5 · (−4/3) · (2/5)
= (−4/3) · 5 · (2/5)
= (−4/3) · (5 · (2/5))
= (−4/3) · (2/1) = −8/3 = −2*2/3
Problem 2: 17 + 29 + 3+ 1
= 17 + 3 + 29 + 1
= (17 + 3) + (29 + 1)
= 20 + 30 Added groups
= 50 Added terms

Answer:

Problem 1:

5 · (−4/3) · (2/5)

= (−4/3) · 5 · (2/5)   <em>Conmutative Property of Multiplication</em>

= (−4/3) · (5 · (2/5))  <em>Associative Property of Multiplication</em>

= (−4/3) · (2/1) = −8/3 = −2*2/3<em> Multiplied fractions and extracted common factor</em>

Problem 2:

17 + 29 + 3+ 1

= 17 + 3 + 29 + 1  <em>Conmutative Property of Addition</em>

= (17 + 3) + (29 + 1)  <em>Associative Property of Addition</em>

= 20 + 30 Added groups

= 50 Added terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the Problem 1:</u>

In the first step, Hilda applied the <em>Conmutative Property of Multiplication</em>, because she changed the order of the numbers in the product

In the second step, she applied the <em>Associative Property of Multiplication, </em>because she agrouped the product of 5 and<em> </em>2/5 to perform it sepparately

In the third step, she calculated<em> the product of the fractions</em> -4/3 and 2/1, then she extracted 2 as a <em>common factor</em> to express the fraction as -2*2/3

<u>For the Problem 2:</u>

In the first step, Hilda applied the <em>Conmutative Property of Addition, </em>because she changed the order of the numbers in the sum

In the second step, she applied the<em> Associative Property of Addition, </em>because she associated the addition of 17 and 3 and the addition of 29 and 1, to calculate them in groups.

Answer:

The reason for each statement is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative Property of Multiplication:

a\times b=b\times a

Associative Property of Multiplication:

a\times (b\times c)=(a\times b)\times c

Commutative Property of Addition:

a+b=b+a

Associative Property of Addition:

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

Problem 1:

The given expression is

5\cdot (-\frac{4}{3})\cdot(\frac{2}{5})

It can be written as

[5\cdot (-\frac{4}{3})]\cdot(\frac{2}{5})

[(-\frac{4}{3})\cdot 5]\cdot (\frac{2}{5})          (Commutative Property of Multiplication)

(-\frac{4}{3})\cdot [5\cdot (\frac{2}{5})]        (Associative Property of Multiplication)

(-\frac{4}{3})\cdot \frac{2}{1}=-\frac{8}{3}=-2\frac{2}{3}        (Simplification)

Problem 2:

The given expression is

17 + 29 + 3+ 1

It can written as

17 + (29 + 3)+ 1

17 + (3+29)+ 1         (Commutative Property of Addition)

(17 +3)+(29+ 1)        (Associative Property of Addition)

20+30          (Added groups)

50          (Added terms)

The bottom line is a straight line that is equal to 180 degrees.

The three angles above it all need to add together to equal 180.

One angle is given as 20, so the other two need to add together to equal 160 ( 180-20 = 160)

Those two angles form the angle ACE so the answer would be 160 degrees,

Answer 160 degrees.

At the end of the summer, Caitlin had saved $120 from her summer job. This was her initial deposit into a new savings account at
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<span>Let x = represent the number of weeks of deposits
A = 120 + 5x the account balance after x weeks
The account balance is directly proportional to the number of weeks of deposits if:
A/x = constant
(120 + 5x)/x = 120/x + 5 is not a constant
For example:
After 1 week there will be: 120 + 1*5 = $125 on the account
After 2 week there will be: 120 + 2*5 = $130 on the account
After 3 week there will be: 120 + 3*5 = $135 on the account
But 125/1 <> 130/2 <> 135/3
The account balance is not proportional to the number of weeks of deposits.</span>

Of the 240 sandwiches Joanna makes 20% are tuna sandwiches and 40% are jam sandwiches, and the rest are egg salad sandwiches.How
nikitadnepr [17]
240 = 100%
so 10% = 24 sandwiches 
all - (tuna) - (jam) = egg
100% - 20% - 40% = 40%
40% = 10%*4
40% = 24*4 = 96

the answer is 96 egg salad sandwiches
