Answer:

Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.

Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:

Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:

-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4

-36/-36 = -9x/432

1 = -9x/432

1 = -x/48

Cross multiplying

48 = -x

x = -48

It can also be solved like this:

Given -4/9 = x/108

Multiply both sides by 108 to have:

-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108

-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108

-432/9 = x

x = -48

Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.
