i don’t know where to start? i’m on college math!

Tammy uses 1 3/4 cups of laundry detergent. The number of loads is 4

Solution:

Given that, Tammy uses 1 3/4 cups of laundry detergent per load.  

When she was finished doing laundry one day.  

She noticed that she had used 7 cups of laundry detergent.  

We have to find how many loads did she do?

Now, we know that, Total cups used can be written as:

number of loads x number of cups per each load = total cups used.

Hence, the number of loads are 4.

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
