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)

A tourist in France wants to visit 8 different cities. If the route is randomly selected, what is the probability that she will
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Probability p( selecting 8 cities alphabetically) = 2.48×10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways of choosing 8 cities=Permutation P(n,k) = n!/(n-k)!

P(8,8)= 8!/(8-8)! = 8! = 40,320

Probability (selecting 8 cities alphabetically) = 1/40320 = 2.48×10^-5

Indicate the equation of the line through (2, -4) and having slope of 3/5.
Nastasia [14]
Y = mx + b.....the m is for the slope , (2,-4)...x = 2 and y = -4
now we sub
-4 = 3/5(2) + b
-4 = 6/5 + b
-4 - 6/5 = b
-20/5 - 6/5 = b
- 26/5 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3/5x - 26/5 <== slope intercept form
or if u need it in standard form :
y = 3/5x - 26/5....(5)
5y = 3x - 26
-3x + 5y = -26...(-1)
3x - 5y = 26 <==standard form
