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)

Match the polynomial in the left column with its descriptive feature in the right column.
steposvetlana [31]

Given:

5a^2b^3

To find the degree of the polynomial:

The degree of the given polynomial is, 2+3=5

So, the given polynomial is a fifth-degree polynomial.

Thus, the answer is a fifth-degree polynomial.

Priya bought these items at the grocery store. Find each unit price. A. 12 eggs for $3. How much is the cost per egg? B. 3 pound
Ratling [72]

Answer: A. Cost per egg = $4 .

B. Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. Cost per apple = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: cost per item = (total cost) ÷ (number of items)

A. 12 eggs for $3.

Cost per egg = $ (12÷3) = $4

So, Cost per egg = $4 .

B. 3 pounds of peanuts for $7.50

Cost per pound of peanuts = $ (7.50 ÷ 3)= $ 2.5

So, Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. 4 rolls of toilet paper for $2.

Cost per roll = $ (2 ÷4 ) = $ 0.5

So, Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D.  10 apples for $3.50.

Cost per apple = $ (3.50 ÷ 10)= $ 0.35

So,  Cost per apple = $0.35
