Answer:

Once an expression has been factored, use the Distributive Property to expand the expression. The expanded expression should be the original expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property for any binary operation Ф under * in the given set S where a, b, c ∈ S

The binary operation a * (b Ф c) = (a * b) Ф (a * c) .

The operation * distributes over the operation Ф.

Now, when factoring, suppose we have an expression ab + ac. To factor this, we have a(b + c).

To check that our answer is correct, since the expression has been factored, we then distribute the multiplication over the addition to check if the factorization is correct.

So, a(b + c) = ab + ac which is our initial expression.

So, to use the distributive property to check work when factoring, once an expression has been factored, use the Distributive Property to expand the expression. The expanded expression should be the original expression.

Stolb23 [73]
Since he has to give 50, and 12.25*p is the amount of money he has to spend (since it's 12.25 per pizza), we have 50-12.25=change

Quincy was stuck inside during an afternoon rainstorm. He spent 20 minutes reading books, 18 minutes eating lunch, 12 minutes wa
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The answer is B. He spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent stuck inside during the brainstorm for:

20+18+12+10= 60 minutes in total.

And now we want to know what he did for every 10 minutes he spent in the rainstorm. To do that we need to divide what he did for every 10 minutes by the total of minutes that he was stuck:

\frac{10}{60} =\frac{1}{6}

And now we can multiply the time of the activities by 1/6 to get the time he did each activity every 10 minutes.

Reading:

20*\frac{1}{6} = 3.33 minutes reading for every 10 minutes.

Eating:

18*\frac{1}{6} = 3 minutes eating for every 10 minutes.

Watching TV:

12*\frac{1}{6} = 2 minutes watching TV for every 10 minutes.

Drawing:

10*\frac{1}{6} = 1.67 minutes drawing for every 10 minutes.

Therefore he spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.
