Answer:
let x be the Robert piece
y Maria's piece
x+y=10
0,5*x ( half of Robert piece)= 2/3 y( 2 thirds)
2 equations then
x+y= 10 then x= 10-y
0,5x= 0,67 y then we replace x by 10-y on the second equation and it gives
0,5(10-y)= 5-0,5y=0,67y
5= 1,17 y so y= 4,27 and then x= 10-y= 5,73
the question asks how much Robert wire is longer than Maria's wire
so we get x-y= 1,46
Let's go through this problem step by step while bearing in mind the concept of
PEMDAS.
Step 1:

Declaration of the expression. Nothing wrong here yet.
Step 2:

Clarise evaluated what's inside the parenthesis first - which was the right thing to do! There are no mistakes in this step.
Step 3:

In this step she subtracted first. This should not be the case! PEMDAS tells us that the exponents and division gets higher priority than subtraction. This is therefore the first mistake Clarise makes.
Step 4:

In this step Clarise evaluates the exponent. This does not violate any rules (relative to the previous expression) since PEMDAS tells us that exponents take higher priority than division.
Step 5:

(Clarise's final answer)
In Clarise's final step, she manages to get the wrong answer! Dividing 51.68 by 0.16 would give us 323. This is another mistake of Clarise.
Looking at the choices, we can now identify what mistakes Clarise made:
-She subtracted before evaluating the exponents
-She subtracted before she divided
-She divided incorrectly
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 2a - 5 > 3 ( add 5 to both sides )
- 2a > 8
Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the direction of the inequality sign as a consequence of dividing by a negative quantity
a < - 4
Since a is less than we require an open circle at - 4 on the number line.
Since less than the arrow head is pointing to the left, that is
Graph A, the top graph illustrates the solution
There are 1000 Times more people on earth right now than there was in 4,000 BCE. It's just 7billion divided by 7million.
14= 3k-4
_ less than _ = -
3* k simplified= 3k
