Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and solve.
8 63 = 8 + 8 3 =

8 * 63 = 8 * ? + 8 * 3 = ?

Okay, so we have 8 * 63, and it is broken down to 8 * ? + 8 * 3.

63 - 3 = 60, so our number should be 60.

8 * 63 = 8 * 60 + 8 * 3 = ?

To find the last number, we can just multiply 8 * 63, which is 504.

8 * 63 = 8 * 60 + 8 * 3 = 504

2/4 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= total pieces

both ate 9 pieces

mindy ate 3 so troy ate 6

6= (1/4)x

x =24
