Answer:

Catron's error is

"She did not follow order of operations"

Step-by-step explanation:

Catron evaluates the expression (negative 9) (2 and two-fifths)

That expression can be written as below

(-9)(2\frac{2}{5})

Catron's error is

"She did not follow order of operations"

The corrected steps are

Step1: Given expression is (-9)(2\frac{2}{5})

Step2: Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction

(-9)(2\frac{2}{5})=(-9)(\frac{12}{5})

Step3: Multiplying the terms

(-9)(2\frac{2}{5})=-7\frac{-108}{5}

Therefore solution (-9)(2\frac{2}{5})=-7\frac{-108}{5}

Answer:

Catron'error is that She incorrectly broke up 2 and two-fifths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following Catron steps we have:

-9(2 + \frac{2}{5} )\\-9(-2) + (-9)(\frac{2}{5} )\\-18 + (-9)(\frac{2}{5} )\\-27(\frac{2}{5} )\\-\frac{54}{5}  = - 10\frac{4}{5}

Catron did not represent the problem correctly.

The correct step is:

-9(2 \frac{2}{5} )\\-9(\frac{10 + 2}{5} )\\-9(\frac{12}{5} )\\-(\frac{108}{5} )\\= - 21\frac{3}{5}

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a) Kylie has 8 marbles

b) 7 Cylinders

c) 17 carrots

d) 8 marbles belong to Shauntay

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Identify the type and subtype of each of the fol-

lowing problems.

a. Shawn has 15 marbles, which is 7 more marbles than Kyle has. How many marbles does Kyle have?

Shawn = 15 marbles

S = K + 7

15 = K + 7

K = 15 - 7

K = 8 marbles

Kylie has 8 marbles

b. Tiffany has 12 blocks, 5 of which are cubes and the rest cylinders. How many blocks are cylinders?

T = 12 blocks

Cubes = 5

Cylinders = the rest

12 blocks = Cubes + Cylinders

Cylinders = 12 - Cubes

Cylinders = 12 - 5

Cylinder = 7

c. Peter had some carrots. After he ate 3 of them, he had 14 carrots left. How many carrots did Peter have before?

Number of carrots Peter has before

= Number of carrots he ate + Number of carrots he has now

= 14 + 3

= 17 carrots

d. In a bag of 17 marbles, 9 marbles belong to Kelly and the rest belong to Shauntay. How many marbles belong to Shauntay?

Total number of Marbles = 17

Kelly = 9 marbles

Shauntay = ?

Total = Kelly + Shauntay

Shauntay = Total - Kelly's marbles

= ( 17 - 9) marbles

= 8 marbles

8 marbles belong to Shauntay
