Answer:

Associative property of addition

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property of addition is as follows :

a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c

We have,

a = 8, b = 9 and c = 3

So,

Using above property,

(8+9)+3 = 8+(9+3)

20 = 20

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

P = 40.56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed of a rectangle and half circle

The perimeter of the figure = the length of the borders round the figure

= W + 2L + ½(perimeter of full circle)

W = 8 ft

L = 10 ft

½(perimeter of circle) = ½(πd) = ½(3.14*8)

= 12.56 ft

Plug in the values

Perimeter of the figure = 8 + 2(10) + 12.56

= 8 + 20 + 12.56

= 40.56 ft

Olegator [25]

Given :

Nathan smiled at 50 people one day and recorded that 36 people smiled back at him.

To Find :

How many people should Nathan expect to return a smile if he smiles at 650 people over a period of time.

Solution :

Ratio of people smiled by total number of people is :

$R = \dfrac{36}{50}$

Now, it is given that we have to use the given conditions.

Therefore, ratio will be same :

$\dfrac{s}{650}=\dfrac{36}{50}\\\\s = \dfrac{36}{50}\times 650\\\\s = 468$

Therefore, number of smiles Nathan expect to return is 468.
