Stella divided 12/8.
If we divide 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5.
Let us check given options one by one .
A) Stella made an error : Stella didn't made an error because it's just division of two numbers.
B) The answer is exactly 1.5. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5, so this option is correct.
C) The calculator rounded the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no rounding is required.
D) The calculator truncated the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no truncation in the answer.
Therefore, correct option is B) The answer is exactly 1.5.
Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b. If you were to set <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b) = to 0, then:
x=0,
x=-a
x=-b
but this doesn't answer your question.

Given two points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) on a line, the slope =(Y2 - Y1) /(X2 - X1).
You are given the points (1,3) and (3,-2). Implying X1 =1 , Y1 =3, X2=3, Y2=-2
Use the formula for the slope above to answer the question. If you still have problems getting the correct answer, ask for more help.
Your answer should be a negative fraction or decimal if you are using a calculator.
Let the total toys be x.
The first has (1/10)x = x/10
The third child has one more toys than the first = x/10 + 1
The fourth has double of the third: = 2* (x/10 + 1) = 2x/10 + 2
Since we know that the second child has 12 more toys than the first
Therefore the Second minus First = 12.
First let us find the second.
1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = x
x/10 + 2nd + (x/10 + 1) + (2x/10 + 2) = x
2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 1 + 2x/10 + 2 = x
2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 2x/10 + 1 + 2 = x
2nd + 4x/10 + 3 = x
2nd = x - 4x/10 - 3
2nd = 6x/10 - 3
But recall
2nd - 1st = 12
6x/10 - 3 - x/10 = 12
6x/10 - x/10 = 12 + 3
5x/10 = 15
5x = 15 * 10
x = 15*10 /5
x = 30
So there were 30 toys in all.
