Answer 4

how far did you get here?

Answer 5

i know how 2 solve it i just dont know what properties are used

Answer 6

can you write out how to solve it? Then I'll help out with the properties used

Answer 7

well i have 2 use pemdas for this

Answer 8

so it would be 5*1=5
4(5 divided by 20)

Answer 9

and then 5 divided by 20 witch gives u .25
4(.25)
then multiply 4*0.25 witch gives u 1

Answer 10

right?

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

you can also do it like this

4(5/20) would turn into (4*5)/20

then 4*5 = 20 so we really have 20/20 = 1

Answer 13

as for the properties used, there isn't some really fancy name for it. You're just doing simple multiplication and division. I'm not sure what the teacher is trying to get you to do here

I guess you could say "associative property" when rearranging terms

basically 4(5/20) = 4*5*(1/20) = (4*5)*(1/20)

but that seems like we're making things more complicated than they have to be

Answer 14

i put multiplication and division the first time and i got it wrong so yea

Answer 15

Is there a list of choices they want you to pull from?
