Sandra is showing her work in simplifying (3.3 − 4.2) − 2.8 + 5.7. Identify any error in her work or reasoning. Step 1: (3.3 − 4

.2) − 2.8 + 5.7 Step 2: 3.3 + (− 4.2 − 2.8) + 5.7 (distributive property) Step 3: 3.3 − 7 + 5.7 Step 4: 3.3 + 5.7 − 7 (commutative property) Step 5: 9 − 7 = 2

Answer:

Sandra makes an error in second step reasoning .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Sandra is showing her work in simplifying

(3.3-4.2)-2.8+5.7

We have to find the error in her work or reasoning.

Step 1:(3.3-4.2)-2.8+5.7

Step 2:3.3+(-4.2)-2.8)+5.7

Reason: Associative property

Step 3:3.3-7+5.7

Step 4:3.3+5.7-7

Reason: Commutative property

Step 5:9-7=2

Hence, Sandra makes an error in second step reasoning .

Sandra uses distributive property instead of associative property in step 2.

An oil tank has a capacity of 45 gallons. At the beginning of October it is 80% full. At the end of October it is 1/3 full. How
Yakvenalex [24]
Capacity of the tank = 45 gallon
At the beginning of Oct., amount of oil in the tank = 45*0.8 = 36 gallons
At the end of Oct., amount of oil in the tank = 45*1/3 = 15 gallons
So, amount of oil used during Oct = (36-15) = 21 gallons

Xavier has a bag of 20 marbles. 8 are blue, 7 are red, and 5 are green. Xavier pulls out a marble, records what color it is, and
joja [24]

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

chance of pulling out a blue marble can be described as 8 equally probable outcomes (blue marbles) out of 20 equally probable outcomes (all marbles).

Similarly, the chance of pulling out a green marble is 5 out of 20.

In total, we have 8*5 (combinations of blue then green) outcomes out of 20*20 (any two marbles):

8*5 / (20*20) = 40 / 400 = 1/10 = 0.1
