Evalute each exxpression. write each answer in simplest form. 12b for b=7/12
12b for b=7/12
12 * 7/12 = 84/12 = 7
Thank you Ms. Sue!!!
You're welcome.
To evaluate the expression 12b, we need to substitute b with the given value of 7/12.
So, we have:
12 * (7/12)
To simplify this expression, we can cancel out the common factor of 12 between the numerator and denominator:
(12 * 7) / 12
Now we can multiply the numbers in the numerator and divide by the number in the denominator:
84 / 12
To simplify further, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12:
84 ÷ 12 = 7
Therefore, the simplest form of the expression 12b, when b is equal to 7/12, is 7.
