Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Each person will be getting $2(2)/(5)$ pieces of licorice

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 12 pieces of licorice

To divide it equally among 5 people following formula will be used

Pieces to be given to each person = $(total\, pieces)/(total\,people)$

= $=(12)/(5) \n2.4\n$

Each person will be getting $2(2)/(5)$ pieces of licorice

How many minutes in 6 hours and 42 minutes

Answers

There are 60 minutes in an hour 60×6=360 360+42=402 so it would be 402 minutes

Well, in 6 hours there is a total of 360 minutes. Plus the next 42 minutes then, we will have 402 minutes as a final total. So, like we have 60 minutes in each hour we need to multiply 60 by the number of hour that is 6 and then add the next 42 minutes to get the final answer..Like this: 60 x 6 = 360 + 42 = 402.

20/10 as a mixed number

Answers

20/10 as a mixed number:

20 ÷ 10 = 2.

10 goes into 20 two times. So 20/10 as a mixed number is a whole number: 2.

20/10 = 2

First, decide how many times 10 can go into 20. 10 can "fit in" to 20 exactly 2 times. Since there is nothing left over, the "mixed number" is simply 2.
Another way to do this is to just divide the top by bottom, since it will divide evenly.
20/10 = 2.
Answer: 2

What property is shown? –12 + (27 + 12) = –12 + (12 + 27)

A.associative property
B.commutative property
C.distributive property
D.opposite of a sum property

Answers

commutative property is
a+b=b+a
we see the only difference between -12+(27+12) and -12+(12+27) is they are switched

so it would be commutative
it's not associatve because associative deals with moving parenthasees

Correct option B commutative property
The numbers are just switched, there is no difference in it.
a + b is same as b+a
Similarly,
-12 + 27+12 = -12 + 39 = 27
-12+12+27 = 27
See, no change takes place,just the positions of the numbers are changed
