Answer:

30 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of pencils shared = 40

Sharing ratio = 2 : 6

Nimah's share = (2 / sum of ratio) * number of pencils

Nimah's share = (2 / 8) * 40

Nimah's share = 80 / 8

Nimah's share = 10 pencils

Jack's share = total number - Nimah's share

Jack's share = 40 - 10

Jack's share = 30

Mention the commutativity associative and distributive properties of rational number
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Associative property: a + (b + c), a – (b – c) ≠ (a – b) – c, a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c, and a ÷ (b ÷ c) ≠ (a ÷ b) ÷ c

When a = ½ and b = ¾

Now, for checking a × b = b × a, consider LHS and RHS.

LHS = a × b = ½ × ¾ = ⅜

RHS = b × a = ¾ × ½ = ⅜

Thus, LHS = RHS (Hence proved)
