P wave is the atria “firing”/depolarizing, the QRS complex is the ventricles depolarizing (and the atria are depolarizing while this happens), and the T wave is the ventricles depolarizing. Depolarizing is when it contracts, and repolarizing is when it relaxes and refills.

Here is how Lydia found the product 4/5 x 10. Use the model given to show that Lydia's answer is correct.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Lydia's answer is correct.

Explanation:

The solution used by Lydia is:

4/5 × 10 = 4 × 1/5 × 10

= 4 × 10/5

= 4 × 2

= 8

The above solution by Lydia is correct.

Given the question, 4/5 × 10, this will be:

= 4/5 × 10/1

Let's multiply the numerator first, this will be: = 4 × 10 = 40

The denominator will be: = 5 × 1 = 5

Therefore, 4/5 × 10/1 = 40/5

Now when we divide 40 by 5, we will get 8. Therefore Lydia is correct.
