Allen is showing his work in simplifying-8.3 + 9.2 - 4.4 + 3.7. Identify and explain any errors in his work or in his reasoning. Write feed back to Allen explaining the mistakes he made and how to correct his work

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks Allen's workings. Find it below.

Step Work Reasoning

−8.3 + 9.2 − 4.4 + 3.7 Original problem

1 −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse

2 −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property

3 −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property

4 −8.3 + 17.3 Simplify

5 9 Simplify

Given the equation −8.3 + 9.2 − 4.4 + 3.7, to solve this we are going to be using different properties.

Given three values A, B and C, the following are true:

A-B = A+(-B) Additive inverse

(A+B)+C = A+(B+C) Commutative property

Applying this laws to correct Allen's calculation

Original problem

−8.3 + 9.2 − 4.4 + 3.7

Applying the additive inverse property

−8.3 + 9.2 +(− 4.4) + 3.7 {since product of plus and minus sign still gives a minus sign)

Rearranging the equation based on signs according to the associative property we will have:

−8.3 +(-4.4) + 9.2 + 3.7

Using the commutative property to separate the positive variables from negative variables will give:

{−8.3 +(-4.4)} + {9.2 + 3.7}

Since {−8.3 +(-4.4)} + {9.2 + 3.7} = {9.2 + 3.7} + {−8.3 +(-4.4)}

Simplify the expressions in parenthesis:

= {−8.3 +(-4.4)} + {9.2 + 3.7}

= (-8.3-4.4)+(9.2+3.7)

= (-12.7)+(12.9)

= 0.2

From the above calculation, it can be seen that Allen made an error while using the additive inverse property in his first step. He should not have removed the minus sign. The negative sign was removed from step 1 which makes the remaining steps of his calculation to be wrong. Instead of replacing -4.4 directly with +4.4 he should have used the additive inverse property by replacing -4.4 with +(-4.4).

but like can you tell us where he did it wrong

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , thus

x + 4x + 30 = 180

5x + 30 = 180 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

5x = 150 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 30

Dr. Evans prescribed the less medicine

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. Hong =0.019 liters more than Dr.Tannenbaum

Dr.Evans prescribed 0.02 Less than Dr.Hong.

Let

Dr.Tannenbaum=x liters

Dr. Hong =0.019 + x liters

Dr. Evans= 0.019 + x - 0.02 liters

Item 15 Question 1 Write and solve an equation to answer the question. The perimeter of the Norwegian flag is 190 inches. What are the dimensions of the flag? Equation: =190 y= Question 2 Label the dimensions of the flag in inches.

Answers

Answer:

40 inches by 55 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the required diagram. Find the diagram in the attachment.

The flag is rectangular in nature and the formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L+W) where;

L is the length of the flag

W is the width of the flag

From the diagram, L = y and W = 11y/8

Since the perimeter = 190 inches, we will substitute the given parameters into the formula and firs calculate the value of y.

190 = 2(y+11y/8)

190 = 2y + 11y/4

multiply through by 4

760 = 8y+11y

760 = 19y

y = 760/19

y = 40

The length of the flag is 40 inches and the Width of the flag is 11(40)/8 = 55inches.

Hence, the dimensions of the flag in inches is 40 inches by 55 inches.

Three times the sum of half a number and 7 is 36

Answers

Answer:

your answer is 19.34

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

half a number = ½ x

three times means multiplied by three

so,

3( ½ x) + 7 = 36

3( ½ x) = 36 - 7

3( ½ x) = 29

½ x = 29/3

½ x = 9.67...

x = 9.67 × 2           (when we moved  ½ on the other side of the equal sign it                                      ›                               turns into 2/1 )

x = 19.34

Paj is filling a 9-cubic-inch flower pot with soil from small bags. Each bag of soil contains 2 2/3 cubic inches of soil. Exactly how many bags of soil are needed for Paj to fill the flower pot?

Answers

Answer:

Exactly 3 3/8 bags of soil are needed for Pan to fill the flower pot

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with calculating the number of bag of soils with a given volume each needed to fill a flower pot with soil.

What we simply need to do here is to divide the volume of the flower pot with the volume of the individual bag of soils;

Mathematically, that would be;

9 divided by 2 2/3

= 9 divided by 8/3

= 9 * 3/8 = 27/8 = 3 3/8 bag of soils

A number that is bigger than 5 2/3 but smaller than 6 could be 5.7.

A number that is bigger than 5.6 but smaller than 5 2/3 could be 5.62.

Hope this helps!

In fact 5 2/3 means 5+2/3 for this. So,5+2/3 = 17/3 = 5.6

For first question, if "numbers" are also include rational numbers, you can write any rational number according to this interval. For example, 5.7 , 5.75, 5.9

But the second one, the interval that is shown us has the same value 5.6 and 5.6. So you cannot find a number which should bigger 5.6 and smaller 5.6 . It seems impossible I mean.

Johnny’s vegetable garden is rectangular. The length of the garden is 2x-1 and the width of the garden is 3x+2. Find the Perimeter and Area of the garden.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{\sf Perimeter \: of \: rectangular \: garden = 10x + 2} [/tex]

[tex] \boxed{\sf Area \: of \: rectangular \: garden = 6x^2 + x - 2} [/tex]

Given:

Length of rectangular garden = 2x - 1

Width of rectangular garden = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sf Perimeter \: of \: rectangular \: garden = 2(Length + Width)[/tex]

[tex] \sf = 2((2x - 1) + (3x + 2))[/tex]

Grouping like terms:

[tex] \sf = 2((2x + 3x) + (2 - 1))[/tex]

2x + 3x = 5x:

[tex] \sf = 2(5x + (2 - 1))[/tex]

2 - 1 = 1:

[tex] \sf = 2(5x + 1)[/tex]

[tex] \sf = (2 \times 5x) + (2 \times 1)[/tex]

2 × 5x = 10x:

[tex] \sf = 10x + (2 \times 1)[/tex]

2 × 1 = 2:

[tex] \sf = 10x + 2[/tex]

[tex] \therefore[/tex]

Perimeter of rectangular garden = 10x + 2

[tex] \sf Area \: of \: rectangular \: garden = Length \times Width[/tex]

[tex] \sf = (2x - 1)(3x + 2)[/tex]

[tex] \sf = 2x(3x + 2) - 1(3x + 2)[/tex]

[tex] \sf = (2x \times 3x) + (2x \times 2) - (1 + 3x) - (1 \times 2)[/tex]

2x × 3x = 6x²:

[tex] \sf = 6 {x}^{2} + (2x \times 2) - (1 + 3x) - (1 \times 2)[/tex]

2x × 2 = 4x:

[tex] \sf = 6 {x}^{2} + 4x - (1 + 3x) - (1 \times 2)[/tex]

1 × 3x = 3x:

[tex] \sf = 6 {x}^{2} + 4x - 3x - (1 \times 2)[/tex]

1 × 2 = 2:

[tex] \sf = 6 {x}^{2} + (4x - 3x) - 2[/tex]

4x - 3x = x:

[tex] \sf = 6 {x}^{2} + x - 2[/tex]

[tex] \therefore[/tex]

Area of rectangular garden = 6x² + x - 2

Answer:

Perimeter = 10x+2 m

Area = 6x²+x-2 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of garden (l) = 2x-1

width or breadth of garden ( b) = 3x+2

Now,

Perimeter of the garden (p) = 2( l + b)

= 2 ( 2x-1 + 3x+2 )

= 2 ( 5x + 1 )

= 10x+2 m. ( Answer )

Again,

Area of garden (a) = l * b

= ( 2x-1 ) ( 3x+2 )

= 2x ( 3x+2 ) -1 ( 3x+2 )

= 6x² + 4x - 3x - 2

= 6x²+x-2 m². ( Answer )

Suppose you have a pocketful of change. You have some pennies (p) and some quarters (q). One expression could be used to describe the total number of coins in your pocket: p + q. A second expression could be used to describe the amount of money (in dollars) in your pocket: 0.01p + 0.25q. Notice that each expression describes a different characteristic of the change in your pocket. Evaluate each expression for the situation where you have 6 quarters and 7 pennies in your pocket. Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. For the amount of money, do not enter a dollar symbol.

Answers

Answer:

13

1.57

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two equations regarding the number of quarters q and the number of pennies p:

[tex]p+q[/tex]

Which represents the total amount of coins and

[tex]0.01p+0.25q[/tex]

Which represents the total amount of money in dollars.

So we are asked to evaluation each expression for the situation in which we have 6 quarters and 7 pennies. Thus, plug 6 in for q and 7 in for p:

[tex]p+q\\(7)+(6)=13[/tex]

This tells us that we have 16 coins in total.

[tex]0.01(7)+0.25(6)\\=0.07+1.50\\=1.57[/tex]

This tells us that we have a total amount of $1.57.

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed {13} \\ \boxed{ 1.57}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Pennies ⇒ [tex]p[/tex]

Quarters ⇒ [tex]q[/tex]

First expression describes the total number of coins in the pocket ⇒ [tex]p+q[/tex]

Second expression describes the amount of money in dollars in the pocket ⇒ [tex]0.01p+0.25q[/tex]

There are 6 quarters and 7 pennies in the pocket.

First expression :

[tex]p+q \\ 7 + 6 = 13[/tex]

Second expression :

[tex]0.01p+0.25q \\ 0.01(7)+0.25(6) \\ 0.07+1.5 =1.57[/tex]
