Question:

Abel planned for a garden to be 42 m long but found that it needs to be 24 m long to fit in his backyard. He found the change of scale below.

\frac{42m}{7}/{\frac{24m}{7} = \frac{6}{4}

Which is Abel’s error?

Abel should have written the ratio as 24 metres/7 metres

Abel should have written the ratio as 24 metres/42 metres

Abel should have divided both numbers by 6.

Abel should have divided both numbers by 4.

Answer:

Abel should have divided both numbers by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Measured Length of backyard = 42m

Actual Length of backyard = 24m

Measured Ratio: \frac{42m}{7}/{\frac{24m}{7} = \frac{6}{4}

Required

Error in calculation of measured ratio

From Abel's calculation:

It can be observed that He divided both numbers by 7

Though 42/7 = 6 but that's not so for 24/7

24/7≠4;

Instead 24/7 = 3.43 (Approximated)

To get the actual ration, he has to divide both numbers by the highest common factor

The common factors of 42 and 24 include 2,3,6 of which the highest is 6

Hence; HCF of 42 and 24 = 6

So, we can conclude that the error in his calculation is having not dividing both numbers by 6

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she only has $8, she can't spend more than that.  In other words, she can spend ≤$8.

If each ticket is $1.50 per ticket, the inequality that represents how many tickets she can buy if x represents the number of tickets, is

1.5x ≤ 8
