Casey said that 0.03*1,000 is 3 explain why caseys answer is wrong what mistake do u think he made

1 answer:

6 0

<span>0.03 x 1,000=30! In multiplying decimals, you'll move the decimal's period to the number of zeroes in the multiplier! 1,000 has 3 zeroes. So, it's equal to 30. So basically he was wrong because 0.03 times 1,000 doesn't equal 3 it equals 30. He made the mistake of not moving the decimal point enough.</span>

How to use denominators when comparing two fractions with the same numerators

Sholpan [36]

What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!

-6x+y=-2<br>x-3y=9 what is the solution set?

Anarel [89]

Mult. the 2nd eqn by 6 and then add this "new" equation to the 1st given eqn:

-6x + y = -2
6x -18y = 54
--------------------
-17y = 52, or y = -52/17. Subst. this value of y into either equation to find the value of x.
