Answer :
Let's analyze each part of the question one by one.
Is [tex]5 \times 5 \times 5 = 5 \times 3[/tex] true or false?
- Left side: [tex]5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125[/tex] because [tex]5 \times 5 = 25[/tex] and then [tex]25 \times 5 = 125[/tex].
- Right side: [tex]5 \times 3 = 15[/tex].
- Since [tex]125 \neq 15[/tex], the statement is false.
Is 49 divided by 7 equal to 7?
- When we divide 49 by 7, we get [tex]\frac{49}{7} = 7[/tex].
- Since 49 divided by 7 does indeed equal 7, this statement is true.
Input rule output: [tex]3 \times 7 \rightarrow 23[/tex]
- Multiplying 3 by 7 gives [tex]3 \times 7 = 21[/tex], not 23.
- Therefore, the output does not match the expected result from the input rule if it's based strictly on multiplication.
- This statement is false if we interpret the rule strictly as multiplication without any additional operations.
