Question

Drag each expression into the correct category. 1 / 2 x (3x7) (3x7) = 5 (3 x 7)-8 (3 x 7) = 1 1x (3x7) 5+ (3x7) (3 x 7) * (3-1)||(3 x 7) + (1 - 1) Less than (3*7 Equal to (327) Greater than ( 37) II II

Answer 1

Explanation

each number that accompanies ccc is a factor and this is how it affects it

if the factor is = 1, the new number is the same

if the factor is greater than 1 , the new number is greater than the original

if the factor is smaller than 1 , the new number is smaller than the original

then, identify each factor

Step 1

a)

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}\cdot(3\cdot7) \\ \text{the factor is }\frac{1}{4}\text{ and } \\ \frac{1}{4}<1,\text{ then} \\ \text{the new number is less than (3x7)} \end{gathered}$

b)

$(3\text{ x 7) / 5}$

in this case, the number is divide, so the result is always less than the original

b,less than

c)

$(3\cdot7)-8$

in this case, we are taking 8 from that number, so the new result is less than the original

d.

$1\cdot(3\cdot7)$

the factor is 1, so the number is the same

d, equal to (3*7)
