4th period assignment - 1/21/11

Without doing ANY calculations, determine whether each number sentence is true.  EXPLAIN. Check your answer. You should have THREE explanations!


a) -50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200)

b) -50 + (400 x 32) = (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32)

c)  12 ÷ (-8 + 4) = (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4)

  1. a) -50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200)
    The equation above is true it is true because if you add (-1000)+200 it comes out to be -800. Which is the same thing as -50 x (-800).

    b) -50 + (400 x 32) = (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32)
    This equation is not true because 400 + 32 doesn’t give you the same answer as 400 x 32.
    c) 12 ÷ (-8 + 4) = (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4)
    This equation is not true because (12/-8) +(12/4)=(1.5) gives you a bigger number than 12/(-8 + 4)= (-3). As you can see the answers are very different.

  2. A: is not true because the sides do not equal the same because you cannot distribute using addition.

    B: Is true because you can distribute using multiplication therefore the sides match up.

    C: This is not true because you CANNOT distribute using addition or division therefore the sides would not match up making it an incorrect answer.

  3. Letter A is a true complete number sentence. It is true because -50 is your distributer number. It is outside of the parenthisis. -1000 + 200 will equal -800. Which is the number that is being multiplied on the first side. -50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200) is a true statement.

    Letter B is a false statement. It is a false statement because if 50 is your distributer then you cannot ADD them to your other numbers SEPRATELY. Then on the other side have you numbers multiplied.

    Letter C is also a false statement. It is a false statement because division is not part of the distributive property.

  4. A. A is not correct because the way it is set up it does not have the 800 in it has more so when you do the math you will have more than what you had before because you have more than 800 multiplied.
    B. B is not correct because in the standard form you have the three numbers in it and then they also use it in the expanded form, but if you look closely at it they have the signs backwards instead of the multiplication outside of the parenthesis instead of inside and inside are the addition signs.
    C. C is correct because the distributed right from standard to expanded form. Also the signs are perfect they are where they need to be.

  5. a) The expression is true because when worked out the-1000 will have part of it taken away do to the +200
    b) The expression is not true because its says add and multiply
    c) The expression is true because it is in expanded but can be shrinked to standard form

  6. a) -50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200) is a true number sentence because -1000 + 200 = -800 which is the same as 50 (-800).
    b) -50 + (400 x 32) = (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32) is not a true number sentence because addition is not distributive only multiplication is. The signs would have to be switched so the number sentence would be -50 x (400 + 32) = (-50 x 400) + (-50 x 32).
    c) 12 ÷ (-8 + 4) = (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4) is not a true number sentence because division is not part of the distributive property, only multiplication can distribute

  7. A= True. -1000+200=-800, which was the original number in the standard equation. -50 (-800) is the same as saying (-50 X -1000) + (-50 X 200), just using different numbers to get to the answer.
    B= False. This equation is not true because the Distribution Property does not work with addition. This equation is telling us to add the numbers, and then multiply in the expanded form, and the multiplication should be in parentheses. The answers to the equations do not match each other. The standard problem is equal to 6300 while the “expanded” form is 12,750. These answers clearly do not match with each other!
    C= False. This equation, like “B,” is not in the correct form. It is telling us to distribute division, however only multiplication may be distributed. The standard form is equal to -3, while the “expanded” form is 1.5.

  8. a. This equation is true because the answer to the standard expression is equal to the answer from the expanded expression.
    b. This equation is NOT true because the expressions are using different operations, there for, the answer will not equal out.
    c. This equation is NOT true because the standard expression answer is not equal to the answer of the expanded expression.

  9. Letter a is true because in the standard form it has -50 (800) = 40000 then in the expanded form -50 x -1000 + -50 x 200 will = 40000 so letter a is true. Letter b would not be true because if you solve it out if you do -50 + (400 x 32) = 12750 and if you do the expanded form its 560000 so the letter b is not true. Letter c is not true because if you do 12 divided(-8+4) will equal 3 and if you do the expanded form it will equal 1.5 so letter c is not true.

  10. a) The expression is true because when worked out the-1000 will have part of it taken away do to the +200
    b) The expression is wrong because you cant do the distributive property with addition because when you do the distributive property BECAUSE YOU ONLY MULTIPLY THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERRTY
    c) the expression is wrong because when doing the distributive property you cannot divid because when doing the distributive property you are multiplying

  11. A) A does work because it is using multiplication which works only can be used in the distributive property! And they both equal neg. 800
    B) B. doesn’t work because it’s using addition which they need to be using multiplication, and the signs are mixed up in the last half of the problem!
    C) C. is wrong and it wouldn’t work because again it’s not using the distributive property right and they don’t equal!

  12. A. The First number problem is true because the problem was rewritten in proper expanded form.
    B. The second number sentence is incorrect because in the distributive your supposed to multiply the distributed property and this problem it adds the distributed number and multiplies the other two numbers.
    C. The third problem is also false because the distributive property states that you can’t only multiply the distributed number.

  13. A) True, b/c when you add negative 1000 from 200, you get negative 800
    B) Not true, b/c 400 + 32 is not equal to 400 x 32.
    C) Not true, b/c distributive property does not work for division.

  14. a) -50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200)

    This number sentence is true because the second numbers of each multiplication sentence on the expanded form side equals -800.

    -1000 + 200 = -800.

    b) -50 + (400 x 32) = (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32)

    This number sentence is true because the expanded form and the standard form are all equal but they have different signs that mean the same thing.

    c) 12 ÷ (-8 + 4) = (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4)

    This number sentence isn't true because the distributive property doesn't work with division.

  15. A). This equation is true because -1000+200=-800. -50 (-800) is equal to (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200), which shows that they are both equal but just written in two separate ways, standard and expanded form.

    B). This equation is false because when you are working with the distributive property, you cannot distribute the operation of addition. The answers to the equations do not match each other. The standard form of the problem is equal to 6,300 while the expanded form of the problem is equal to 12,750. 6,300 and 12,750 are not equal. This equation lets us know that in order to use the distributive property, you must always multiply first when you are solving for the answer in the standard expression.

    C). This equation again is false. Like the answer above, the form of the expressions are not correct. In order to solve for the standard expression, you must distribute multiplication, not division. Distribution lets us know that we need to multiply. The standard form is equal to -3, while the expanded form is equal to 1.5. These two numbers are not equal to each other, therefore the answer is false.

  16. a. This equation is true because -50 (-800) =40000 and that is equivalent to (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200) =40000. You can tell this by using the distributive property because solving for what is inside the parentheses first and then distributing the -50 will get you the answer.

    b. This equation is not true because -50 + (400 x 32) = 12750 and (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32) =-9800. You can tell this by using the distributive property by distributing -50, and when you do it doesn’t all add up.

    c. This equation is not true because 12 ÷ (-8 + 4) = -3 and (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4)=1.5 and you can tell this by using the distributive property and when you distribute the 12, it doesn’t add up

  17. a. -50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200)
    The equation above is correct because if you add (-1000)+200 it is equal to -800. Which is the same thing as -50 x (-800).

    b. -50 + (400 x 32) = (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32
    Is not a true because addition is not distributed only multiplication is. The signs would have to be changed so the number sentence would read -50 x (400 + 32) = (-50 x 400) + (-50 x 32).

    c. The third number sentient is also false because the distributive property says that you can’t distributed division but you can multiply the distributed number.

  18. A) A is true, when you multiply -50 to -800 it gets you 4,0000, the expanded form is (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200).

    B) B is not true, on the left a negative plus a positive you will have to subtract. On the right you are multiplying to positives and on negative.

    C) C is not true; on the left side dividing a negative to a positive you get a positive. On the right a negative divided by a positive gets positive but get a different number.

  19. 1a distributive property was you’d is true the first stup you take is to multiply neg 50 with 200 and the secent step is to multiply neg 50 with neg 1000 to get poss 50000and add it with neg 10000 to make poss 40000 and then you multiply neg 50 with neg 800 and it -40000witch is the same.
    1b not true it is 20000 does not = 6300 distributive property was not yoused
    1c not true 4 does not = 5 distributive property does not work for diveshen

  20. A). This equation is true because -1000+200=-800. -50 (-800) is equal to (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200), which shows that they are both equal but just written in two separate ways standard and expanded form but they are both the same thing.

    B). This equation is false because with the distributive property you can’t distribute the operation of addition so the answers to the equations would be different. The standard form of the problem is equal to 6,300 while the expanded form of the problem is equal to 12,750. 6,300 and 12,750 and that is not equal. For us to use the distributive property, you always have to multiply first when you are solving for the answer in the standard expression.

    C). This equation is false. Like the answer above, the form of the expressions aren’t right. For us to solve in the standard expression, you must distribute multiplication, not division it never works for division. Distribution tells us to multiply. The standard form is equal to -3, and the expanded form is equal to 1.5. These two numbers are not the same so we now know that this equation is false.

  21. A) Is not true because you can not distribute with addition.
    B) Is true because you can use the distributive property with multiplication.
    C) Is not true because you can’t distribute with addition or division.

  22. A) Is true because -50 times -800 is positive 40,000. So then -50 times -1000 =50,000 then -50 times 200 = 10,000. Next do 50,000 + -10,000 which that equals 40,000.
    B) Is not true because -50 times -800 is positive 40,000. Then -50 times 400 = 20,000, and -50 + 32 = -18. So you multiply 20,000 times -18 = -300,000, and so both side are not equal.
    C) It is not true because -8 + 4 = -3. Then 12 divide by -8 = 1.5, and so 12 divide by 4 = 3. So u add -1.5 + 3 equal 1.50, and so the both side are not equal.

  23. a) is true because you are using multiplacation which can only work when using the distributive property. So when you work both out you get -800.
    b) is not true because 400 + 32=432 and 400 32 = 2800 and these are not the same answers.
    b) is not true because you can’t distribute with addition or division.

  24. A: This number sentence is true. Because -50(-800) equals 40,000 and (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200) equals 40,000 as well. Not only do they both equal 40,000 they also show the distributive property. It shows the -50 being distribute over from -50(-800) to (-50 × -1000) + (-50 × 200). That is why it is true.
    B: This number sentence is not true. Because -50 + (400 x 32) equals 12,750 and (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32) equal -6300 which does not equal 12,750. Also they do not show the distributive property. I know this because in 50+(400×32) the 50 is not distributed in the other equation instead it is -50. That’s why it is not true.
    C: This number sentence is not true. Because 12 ÷ (-8 + 4) equals -3 and (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4) equals 1.5. Just because it does not equal each other it still shows the distributive property. It distributes the 12 to the -8 and 4. That’s is why it is not true.

  25. A.)-50 (-800) = (-50 x -1000) + (-50 x 200)

    This equation is true because when you add -1000+200 to be -800 which is the same as -50x (-800)

    B.)-50 + (400 x 32) = (-50 + 400) x (-50 + 32)
    This problem isn’t true because when you do 400+32 its not giving you the same answer as 400x32 because your multiplying and adding.

    C.)12 ÷ (-8 + 4) = (12 ÷ -8) + (12 ÷ 4)

    This equation isn’t true either because you can do 12 divided by 8+12 divided by 4 which equals 1.5 it gives you a larger number then 12divided by(-8 + 4)= (-3).

  27. A. This equation is true because -1000+200=-800. -50 (-800) is equal to (-50 ∙ -1000) + (-50 x 200).

    B. This equation is not true because when you are working with the distributive property, you cannot distribute the operation of addition. The standard form of the problem would be equal to 6,300 while the expanded form of the problem would be equal to 12,750. This equation is not true because 6,300 and 12,750 are not equal. This equation shows us know, to use the distributive property, you have to always multiply first when you are solving for the answer in the standard form.

    C. This equation is not true. The forms of the expressions are not right. In order to solve for the standard expression, you must distribute multiplication, not division. Distribution lets us know that we need to multiply. The standard form is equal to -3, while the expanded form is equal to 1.5. The two numbers are not the same, so the answer is not true.
