Answer:
Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is equal to
A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h
we have
b1=16 cm
b2=24 cm
h=8 cm -----> <em>Note</em> The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm
substitute
A=(1/2)[16+24](8)
A=160 cm²
<em>Verify Scott 's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)
Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"
so
(24+16)=(16+24)
A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²
<em>Verify Tara's work</em>
<em>Note</em> Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)
A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>
To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:
- 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
- 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.
Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 3 = 6.
Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

<h3><u>Question 7</u></h3>
To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:
- 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
- 272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17
80 and 272 share four 2s in common.
Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.
Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

Numerators will be equal after the multiplication.
The First One
The Third One
The Forth One
The others result in a lower number than what they are supposed to be. The 3 correct ones end with the exact number of the equations solution number.

move the decimal so only one number is to the left
we need to move it 8 times
1.60000000 *10^8
1.6*10^8
