Which equation describes the proportion: The number of chickens (c) is four times as many the number of horses (h) on the farm.?A) c = h4 B) h = 4c C) c = 4h D) c = 4 + h
I really need help on this.
Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
The answer is C) c = 4h. However, since it is multiplication it can also be c = h4, choice A.
There are four properties of multiplication. 1) commutative property 2) associative property 3) multiplicative identity property 4) distributive property
The above problem shows a commutative property where when two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands.
Choice C. c = 4h Choice A. c = h4
Both 4 and h are multiplicands and whichever order they are, they always produce the same product.
For example. h is equal to 10
Choice C. c = 4 * 10 = 40 ; Choice A. c = 10 * 4 = 40.
Same product, different order of multiplicands.
Answer 2
Answer:
Answer:
c = 4h
Step-by-step explanation:
c = 4h describes a situation where the number of chickens (c) is four times as large as the number of horses.
