A student translated the phrase below into an algebraic expression, and then evaluated it for g = one-fourth. Is the student's w

ork correct? one-third more than the product of four and a number; evaluate when g = one-fourth The expression is StartFraction 4 Over g EndFraction + one-third; for g = one-fourth. StartFraction 4 Over 1 EndFraction divided by one-fourth + one-third = StartFraction 4 Over 1 EndFraction times StartFraction 4 Over 1 EndFraction + one-third = 16 + one-third = 16 and one-third.

Answer:

The correct evaluation is 1 1/3 (one and one-third) and not 16 and one-third

Step-by-step explanation:

The student was wrong in his evaluation because the correct result should be 1 1/3 (one and one-third) and not 16 and one-third

The expression '1/3 more than the product of four and a number' means

(4g + 1/3)

Evaluating the expression when g = 1/4

You will have

4×1/4 + 1/3

= 1/1 + 1/3

Find the LCM of 1 and 3 and add

= (3+1)/3

=4/3

= 1 1/3

The correct evaluation is 1 1/3 (one and one-third) and not 16 and one-third
