ars, is equal to 50." Javier writes the equation (10 + two-thirds) a = 50, where a is the tree's age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Answer:

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.

Correct equation

Sum = addition (+)

two-thirds = 2/3

The tree's age = a

10 + 2/3a = 50

2/3a = 50 - 10

2/3a = 40

a = 40 ÷ 2/3

= 40 × 3/2

= 60

a = 60 years

Javier writes the equation

(10 + two-thirds) a = 50

(10 + 2/3)a = 50

(30+2/3)a = 50

32/3a = 50

a = 50 ÷ 32/3

= 50 × 3/32

= 150/32

a = 150/32

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

Express 80 inches in standard notation using feet and inches.
Vladimir79 [104]

80 inches in standard notation using feet and inches would be expressed as 6 ft 8 inches by converting inches into feet and inches.

The solution to the given problem is to use some standard conversion units that are:

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • 1 inch = 0.8333 feet

Solution:

As mentioned above that one inch is equal to 0.8333 foot therefore

1 foot = 12 inches

then,

80 inches would be equal to

= \frac{80}{12} ft

= \frac{20}{3} ft

= 6ft 8 inches

= 6' 8"

Thus, 80 inches in standard notation using feet and inches would be expressed as 6 ft 8 inches by converting inches into feet and inches.

Which situations represent a y-intercept of 2? Select all that apply.
Anastaziya [24]
I am not 100% sure but I believe its,
(0,2)
Ball thrown from an initial height of two feet
Jeremy's change jar that started with a $2 deposit

I chose these because the Y always represents the starting point of whatever the problem is about, then the X represents the progress its made since the beginning. So if it doesn't say start or initial or any words like that its probably not the Y, its the X.
