Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property does not appear to be involved in this question.

Let n represent the number of Noah's pencils. Then Andrew's total is ...

  3n +5 = 17

  3n = 12 . . . . . subtract 5 from both sides

  n = 4 . . . . . .  divide both sides by 3

Noah has 4 pencils.

a game room has a floor that is 120 feet by 75 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 unit:5 feet. W
Ghella [55]
For every 5 feet, the scale drawing is 1 unit.  So we divide the dimensions by 5 to get the dimensions of the scale drawing.

120/5 = 24

1:5 = x:120  There are 24 5's in 120 so the new ratio is 24:120

75/5 = 15

1:5 = x:75  There are 15 5's in 75 so the new ratio is 15:75

The dimensions of the scale drawing is 24 units by 15 units.
