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 population of a town increased by 10% per year in 2009, 2010, and 2011. If the population of the town at the beginning of 20
Bogdan [553]
If the population was 40,000 at the beginning of 2009, at the end of 2009 it has increased by 10% and became 44,000.

By the same way, at the end of 2010, it became 44000 + \frac{44000*10}{100} = 48400

At the end of 2011, the population was 48400 +  \frac{48400 * 10}{100} = 53240

a triangular piece of stained glass has an area of 6 square inches and a height of 3 inches. what is the length of the base
lubasha [3.4K]
Area  = 1/2 * base * height
6 = 1/2 * base * 3

lengths of the base = 6 / (3*1/2) = 6 / 1.5 = 4 inches answer

Please help (Will make brainliest!!) <br> Solve and explain steps
vlada-n [284]
If angle ec is a bisector then angles Bec and ced are the same making them both 4x+1. we know a line segment equals 180°. so if we take the 11x-12 and add it to 2(4x+1) we end up with 19x-10=180. you add 10 to both sides and get 19x=190 then you divide by both sides. you'll end up with x=10. you plug In the 10 with aeb and aec and add them together to get 139°. if you're looking for the equation, it's 15x-11.
