Question

what is the simplified form of 3abc/abc, when abc doesn't equal 0? explain using the properties of real numbers.

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

We are given that
`(3abc)/(abc)`

where abc does not equal to zero.

We have to find simplified of given fraction using properties of real numbers

`(3abc)/(abc)`

`=(3\cdot 1)/(1)`

abc in numerator and denominator are cancel out to each other.

`(3abc)/(abc)=3* 1=3`

When a number is multiplied by 1 then we get a number itself.It is identity property of multiplication.

Hence,
`(3abc)/(abc)=3`

Answer 2

`(3 x A x B x C)/(A x B x C)`

= 3 ·
`(A)/(A)` ·
`(B)/(B)` ·
`(C)/(C)`

= 3 · 1 · 1 · 1

= 3

Multiplicative Identity states that any time you multiply a number by 1, the result is the original number.
