Part A
Her steps were
Kelsey made a mistake on line 3. Note how the 17/6 flips to 6/17. This is not correct. You keep the first fraction the same, but you do flip the second fraction. This only applies when you divide two fractions.
The third step should look like 
=======================================================
Part B
Here's what she should have written
If you want to convert that improper fraction to a mixed number, then you could do something like this
Or you could divide 17 over 8 using long division to get 2 remainder 1. The 2 is the quotient that goes to the left of the 1/8. The remainder of 1 is the numerator of 1/8.
Answer:
The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec
Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed
It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk
Distance = speed × time
176 = (x+y)×44
44x+44y = 176
x+y = 4 .......1
It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).
21 = (y-x)7
7y - 7x = 21
y - x = 3 ......2
Add equation 1 to 2
2y = 7
y = 3.5 ft/sec
From equation 1
x + y = 4
x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5
x = 0.5 ft/sec
The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec
Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Answer:
undefined
The problem:
Find the slope for the line going through (3,4) and (3,-4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Line up points vertically and subtract.
Then put 2nd difference over 1st.
( 3 , 4)
-(3 , -4)
------------
0 8
So the slope would have been 8/0 but this is undefined.
So the slope is undefined.
Also notice the x's are the same and the y's are difference so this is a vertical line. There is only rise in a vertical line and no run. Recall, slope is rise/run. You cannot divide by 0 so this is why we say the slope is undefined when the x's are always the same no matter the y.
