Answer:
a) (15 Ă— 32) + (15 Ă— 68)
b) Distributive property
c) $1500
Step-by-step explanation:
A vendor supplies 32 litres of milk to a hotel in the morning and 68 litres of milk in the evening. If the milk costs Rs 15 per litre,
a. Write a numerical expression for the given statement.
The numerical expression for the given statement is written as:
$15 Ă— 32 liters + $15 Ă— 68 liters
15 Ă— 32 + 15 Ă— 68
B. Which property of whole numbers would you use to form a numerical expression for the given statement?
The property that I would use to form a numerical expression is a distributive property
a Ă— (b + c) = (ab + ac)
Where a = $15
b = 32 liters
c = 68 liters
Hence:
15 (32 + 68) = (15 Ă— 32) + (15 Ă— 68)
C. How much money he gets per day for the supply?
The amount he gets per day:
15 (32 + 68) = (15 Ă— 32) + (15 Ă— 68)
= $1500
