There is an error in the student's work, the remainder should be 10

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The division operation is one of the basic arithmetic operations

Common signs used are \large{\boxed{:}}} or \large{\boxed{\slash}}

The division is written by placing the numerator above the denominator with a horizontal line between them or use a slash with the numerator's position and the denominator is parallel

The division is actually an iterative subtraction operation (as many as the number of divisors)

Division is the opposite of multiplying

The general form of division can be stated by:

\large{\boxed{\bold{divident:divisor=quotient+remainder}}

example:

7: 3 = 2 + 1

  • 7 = dividend
  • 3 = divisor
  • 2 = quotient
  • 1 = remainder

Division operation statement:

"7 divided by 3 equals 2 remainder 1 "

The form of division can also be expressed in terms of fractions

In the example above, the form of mixed fractions  :

\displaystyle \frac{7}{3} =2\frac{1}{3}

Mixed fractions consist of whole number and proper fractions

From the task

(see also the attached image)

When dividing 878 by 31, a student finds a quotient of 28 with a remainder of 11.

Division operation statement:

"878 divided by 31 equals 28 remainder 11

Arithmetic operations :

878 : 31 = 28 + 11

  • 878 = dividend
  • 31 = divisor
  • 28 = quotient
  • 11 = remainder

Because Division is the opposite of multiplying , so we check the solution with multiplying

divident - (divisor x quotient) = remainder

878 - (31 x 28) = 11

878 - 868 = 11

10 ≠ 11

So students make mistakes in subtraction operations,remainder should be 10

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described:
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Y=-4x+ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The x value has to go back 4 times to get to 0 and the slope is - 4 so it would be 12 hope this helps! :)

A class of 32 students earned
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

5/16 Got a C

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/4 x 32

B = (32 - A)/2

D = 2

A = 8

B = (32 - 8)/2

B = 24/2

B = 12

D = 2

8 + 12 + 2 = 22

22/32 did not get a C

32/32 - 22/32 = 10/32

10/32 - > 5/16

It takes a student 11 seconds to scan their hand at lunch. During one 30 min lunch period, approximately how many students can b
julia-pushkina [17]

It takes 11 seconds to scan one person. So we have this ratio to start with

11 seconds: 1 person

Divide both sides by 11 to get this new ratio

1 second: 1/11 person

1 second: 0.0909 person

So in 1 second, 0.0909 of a person can be scanned. This statement seems silly because we can't have a fraction of a person, but it helps with the next part as shown below. The next step is to multiply both sides by 1800 to get....

1 second: 0.0909 person

1800*1 second: 1800*0.0909 person

1800 seconds: 163.62 persons

In a span of 1800 seconds (equivalent to 30 minutes), about 163 people's lunches can be scanned. Unfortunately, none of the answer choices are 163. The closest thing is 180, but that is an overestimate. So I would ask your teacher if there is a typo somewhere.

Note: if it took exactly 10 seconds for each student (instead of 11), then the answer would be 1800*(1/10) = 1800*0.10 = 180.
