X+(y+z) is equal to saying (x+y)+z
This is called the cumulative property when order doesn’t matter or doesn’t change the equation. As in 1+2 is the same as 2+1. No matter which way we get the same answer. This only works with multiplication and addition though. Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask!! Thank you so much!!
a + b + c = 30 ;
a = 6c ;
a = 2b ;
Then, c = a / 6 and b = a / 2 ;
a / 6 + a / 2 + a = 30 ;
a / 6 + 3a / 6 + 6a / 6 = 180 / 6 ;
10a = 180 ;
a = 18 ;
b = 9 ;
c = 3.
Good luck !
Each student gets 1/8 of the cake.
we multiply 1/8 and 3/4. To do that we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. This gives (1*3)/(8*4) =3/32 of the cake
here you go . i hope this helps
