Why is division not commutative

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
3 0
Division CANNOT be commutative, here is why

lets say the problem is 24÷4

it is obviously  6

but when you flip 24÷4, you get 4÷24

and... 4÷24 is 0.16666666

6 and 0.1666 is totally different :p

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.
Radda [10]

Answer:

x=47

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the triangle bisector theorem

TK             TV

----------- = -----------

YK               YV

Substituting what we know

87.5            77

----------- = -----------

x-22               22

Using cross products

87.5 * 22 = 77 *(x-22)

Distribute

1925  =77x - 1694

Add 1694 to each side

1925 + 1694  =77x - 1694+1694

3619 = 77x

Divide by 77

3619/77 = 77x/77

47=x

A House needs to some maintenance one sink is dripping water every 10 minutes and the other sink is dripping every 12 minutes if
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using Lowest Common Factor method

Find and list multiples of each number of minutes( 12 and 10 minutes) until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.

Multiples of 10:

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

Multiples of 12:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84

Therefore,

LCM(10, 12) = 60

The number if minutes until they both drip again is 60 minutes

Angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair.if m angle =5x+9 and m angle 2=3x+11,find the measures of both angels.
lbvjy [14]

Answer: ∠1 = 109°    ∠2 = 71°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If the two angles form a linear pair, then their sum is 180°

  ∠1      +     ∠2     = 180°

(5x + 9) + (3x + 11) = 180

              8x + 20  = 180

              8x          = 160

                x          = 20

∠1 = 5x + 9

    = 5(20) + 9

    = 100   + 9

    = 109

∠2 = 3x + 11

     = 3(20) + 11

     =    60  + 11

     =         71

  <u> CHECK:</u>

∠1   + ∠2 = 180°

109° + 71° = 180°

     180°   = 180°  \checkmark
