We have to divide 48 by 3 using distributive property.

Division using distributive property is used as it is much easier and accurate.

For dividing 48 by 3, we split first 48 as a multiple of 3 and 10

i.e. 48 = 30+18

Now divide again 18 as 3x5 +3

i.e. 48 = 30+15+3

By distributive property we have 48/3 = (30+15+3)/3 =30/3 +15/3 +3/3

Now easier to calclate this

30/3 = 10 : 15/3 =5 and 3/3 =1

Hence 48/3 = 10+5+1=16

<u>Answer:</u>

16

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The distributive property for division simply means that you can split the quantity of the given number into smaller chunks that are easier to divide.

Here in this case, we are to divide 48 by 3 so we will split 48 into numbers that are easily divisible by 3:

48 ---> 30 + 18

30 and 18 can be further be split into ---> (15 + 15) + (15 + 3)

Dividing these numbers by 3 to get:

\frac{15}{3} +\frac{15}{3}+ \frac{15}{3} +\frac{3}{3} = 5+5+5+1=16

Which of the following graphs shows the<br> solution set to 2x &lt; 6 and 3x + 2 &gt;<br> -4?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The third picture

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x in both equations

2x<6

Divide both sides by 2:

x<3

3x+2>-4

Subtract 2 from both sides:

3x>-6

Divide both sides by 3:

x>-2

There is this trick you can use when x is on the left side of the equation to find out which way to shade in you graph. Keep in mind this is only for the left side, it will not work if your variable is on the right.

When the symbol is facing left < then shade left, imagine it is pointing which way to shade. x<3 is represented by the 3 picture on the left. When the symbol is facing right > then shade right, again it is pointing which way to shade. x>-2 is represented by the 3 picture on the right.

The circles are not filled in because the symbol is < and > rather than \leq  and \geq. When it is greater than or equal to or less than and equal to (represented by the line under the symbol), then the circle is shaded in.
