Answer:
Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 batch of stew uses 1 and 2/3 lb meat
Total amount of meat used - 10 and 5/6 lb
x = number of stew batches made
To get number of batches made, divide total meat used by the amount of meat each batch requires:
x = 10 5/6 ÷ 1 2/3
convert mixed fractions to improper fractions:
x = (10x6+5)/6 ÷ (1x3+2)/3
x = 65/6 ÷ 5/3
The fraction in bold numbers is where Janice got it wrong. She changed 1 2/3 to 5/2. (From the question: 10 and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction divided by 1 and two-thirds = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction divided by five halves). 1 2/3 converted to an improper fraction is 5/3. From this point going forward, the calculations are wrong.
Answer: 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
using pythagorean theorem according to which hypotebous ^2=altitude ^2+base^2
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^=(12)^2+(16)^2
c^2=144+256
c^2=400
c=20
