Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, "The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in ye

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)

Write the decomposition that helps you, and then round to the given place value. Draw number lines to explain your thinking. Cir
egoroff_w [7]

Further explanation

There are general rules used in rounding numbers

1. Determine the rounded digit

2. Pay attention to the digits afterward (right). If the digit shows the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then the digit to be rounded is fixed, and the digit on the right is 0 all

3. If the digit on the right shows the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then the digit to be rounded is added to one, and the digit on the right side is made all 0

In rounding the nearest hundreds number, then we see the digit in the number tens (right of the digit hundreds), if it is worth 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then it remains, but if it shows numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then the digit to be rounded is added one, and the right-hand side is 0

Calculated from the decimal point, the place on the right represents tents, hundredths, thousandths, etc.

a.  32.697

Decomposition

ten : 3

one : 2

tenth : 6

hundredth : 9

thousandths : 7

For the tenth number is 6, the value on the right is 9 then rounded become 32.7

For the hundredth number is 9, the value on the right is 7 then rounded become 32.70

for the one number is 2 , the value on the right is 6 then rounded become 33

b. 141.999

Decomposition

hundred : 1

ten : 4

one : 1

tenth : 9

hundredth : 9

thousandths : 9

a. For the tenth number is 9, the value on the right is 9 then rounded become 142.0

For the hundredth number is 9, the value on the right is 9 then rounded become 142.00

For the ten number is 4, the value on the right is 1 then rounded become

14

For the ten number is 1, the value on the right is 4 then rounded become

142
