Answer:

We are to find the error made by Sadie and then find the correct simplification.

The error Sadie made is that she wrote a^7 as a^2 * a^5 instead of a^6 * a.

The square root of a^6 is a^3 and so she could have further simplified.

The correct simplification is shown below:

\sqrt{54a^7b^3} = \sqrt{2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * a^6 * a * b^2 * b} \\  \\= \sqrt{3^2 * a^6 * b^2 * 6 * a * b} \\\\= 3a^3b\sqrt{6ab}

Is 976 -522 more or less than 400? Explain how you can tell without actually subtracting.
liq [111]
You can round 976 to 1000 and 522 to 500. So it would be
1000 - 500 = 500. The answer you would get after subtracting 976-522 would be more than 400 if you round it.

Michael has 5 boxes. There are 5kg of apples in each box. When empty, a box weighs 5-2 kg.
Sphinxa [80]
As I understand from the given above, each box when empty weighs 5-2 kg or 3 kg. To determine the total weight of Michael's boxes when empty, we just have to multiply 3 kg by 5. This gives us an answer of 15 kg. Thus, the total mass of Michael's boxes is 15 kg.

Una avenida está siendo asfaltada por etapas. En la primera etapa se asfaltó la mitad; en la segunda, la quinta parte, y en la t
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Sabemos que:

L es el largo de la avenida.

En la primer etapa se asfalto la mitad, L/2, entonces lo que queda por asfaltar es:

L - L/2 = L/2.

En la segunda etapa se asfalto la quinta parte, L/5, entonces lo que queda por asfaltar es:

L/2 - L/5 = 5*L/10 - 2*L/10 = (3/10)*L

En la tercer etapa se asfalto la cuarta parte del total, L/4, entonces lo que queda por asfaltar es:

(3/10)*L - L/4 = 12*L/40 - 10L/40 = (2/40)*L

Y sabemos que este ultimo pedazo que queda por asfaltar es de 200m:

(2/40)*L = 200m

L = 200m*(40/2) = 4,000m

In her wallet, Ms. Thompson has one-dollar, five-dollar, and ten-dollar bills, totally $171. She has the same number of five-dol
MissTica
Let's check. 6 one-dollars = $6 15 five-dollars = $75 9 ten-dollars = $90 Add them all up to get $171, so that is correct. Add the number of one-dollar bills and the number of ten-dollar bills together. 6 + 9 = 15, which is the number of five-dollar bills, so that is correct as well. Add all the numbers of bills together, 6 + 9 + 15 = 15 + 15 = 30, so that is correct
