Use the Multiplication Property of Equality to complete the statement. If 7x ÷ 12 =120 then _________
A 7x*12=1440
B 7x = 10
C 7x = 1440
D 120 = 7x divided by12
C 7x = 1440
To use the Multiplication Property of Equality to complete the statement, we need to isolate the variable x.
The given equation is:
7x ÷ 12 = 120
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 12, which is 1/12.
(7x ÷ 12) * (1/12) = 120 * (1/12)
(7x * 1) / (12 * 12) = 120 / 12
Simplifying:
7x / 144 = 10
The correct completion of the statement is:
B 7x = 10
To use the Multiplication Property of Equality, we need to isolate the variable (7x).
In the given equation, 7x ÷ 12 = 120, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to eliminate the division by 12.
(7x ÷ 12) * 12 = 120 * 12
This simplifies to:
7x = 1440
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 7x = 1440
