Break apart and distribute to solve 72÷8
72÷8=(40÷8)+(32÷8)
9=5+4
9=9

72 ÷ 8 is equal to 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to solve 72 ÷ 8 by breaking apart and distributing, the first step is to write the number ''72'' as the sum or subtraction of two numbers that are divisible by ''8''.

We can write :

If we replace this last expression in the original one :

72 ÷ 8 = (40 + 32) ÷ 8 (II)

Now in (II) we can use the distributive property of the division :

(40 + 32) ÷ 8 = (40 ÷ 8) + (32 ÷ 8) (III)

Finally, we need to solve the expression (III) :

(40 ÷ 8) + (32 ÷ 8) = 5 + 4 = 9

We find that 72 ÷ 8 is 9 by breaking apart and then distributing.

  q

step-by-step explanation:

each line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is called a median. the point where the medians intersect, point q, is the centroid.

the centroid of δabc is point q.
