Answer:
Associative Property of Addition
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, in the second line, there are plus signs (+'s), indicating this is addition. But this time, unlike the first line, the numbers are grouped together with parentheses. When numbers are grouped with parentheses, it means it is the Associative property. Because we are adding, it's the associative property of ADDITION.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Jim only found 15 of the containers.
Step-by-step explanation:
If his mom hid 875 jelly beans evenly into 25 containers we can easily multiply 25 x 35 = 875, which means there were 35 jelly beans in each container.
Jim only found an amount of 385 jelly beans. To find out how many containers he found, all you have to do is divide 385 by 25 which gives us 15.4.
15.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 15. So your answer would be that Jim found only 15 out of 25 containers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (
2
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [

] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
