Which property of whole numbers would you use to form a numerical expression for the given statement? C. How much money he gets per day for the supply?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) (15 × 32) + (15 × 68)

b) Distributive property

c) $1500

Step-by-step explanation:

A vendor supplies 32 litres of milk to a hotel in the morning and 68 litres of milk in the evening. If the milk costs Rs 15 per litre,

a. Write a numerical expression for the given statement.

The numerical expression for the given statement is written as:

$15 × 32 liters + $15 × 68 liters

15 × 32 + 15 × 68

B. Which property of whole numbers would you use to form a numerical expression for the given statement?

The property that I would use to form a numerical expression is a distributive property

a × (b + c) = (ab + ac)

Where a = $15

b = 32 liters

c = 68 liters

Hence:

15 (32 + 68) = (15 × 32) + (15 × 68)

C. How much money he gets per day for the supply?

The amount he gets per day:

15 (32 + 68) = (15 × 32) + (15 × 68)

= $1500
