Answer: Choice B

(3+4) + 2 = 3 + (4+2)

=========================================

Explanation:

The general rule for the associative property of addition is

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

the a,b,c stay in the same order from left to right. The only thing that changes is the way we group the pair of terms. On the left side, we have a & b together with c left out. Then on the right side, we have b & c together with 'a' excluded.

Addition of any group of numbers can be done in any order, which is why this property is valid (though perhaps there's a more rigorous proof out there). For this specific problem, a = 3, b = 4, and c = 2.

The runner has to race for 21km. She has to finish race before 1h 40min. What avarage speed She has to run to gain such goal?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The rate of the runner is 3.5 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer in meters per second, we first have to convert each of the terms into either meters or seconds. We can do that by multiplying by unit rates.

21 km * 1000 = 21,000 meters

1 hour * 3600 = 3,600 seconds

40 minutes * 60 = 2,400 seconds

Now we divide the meters by the total number of seconds to get the rate.

21,000 meters / (3,600 + 2,400) secs

21,000 meters / 6,000 secs

3.5 meters per second.

PLEASE! 10 POINTS! For what number A does the equation 3Ax - 24 = 5x - 9 + x have no solutions for x?

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3Ax-6x = 15

3x(A-2)=15

If A were 2, the left side of the equation would be 0 and it wouldn't equal 15 no matter what the value of x is. So A is 2

Why is 1/8 greater than 1/10 but less than 1/3

Eddi Din [679]

Because in '1/8', there are 8 whole number but one shaded and in '1/10', there are 10 whole number and one shaded. as you see in the picture, the smaller the denominator is(when it goes up), the more bigger it is than those below. So 1/8 is greater than 1/10. but 1/8 is smaller than 1/3, because remember:
*The more you go down(or the higher the denominator is), the more you are making the fraction into more smaller pieces.
