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}

Which statement about the quadratic parent function is true?
nikitadnepr [17]
The correct answer is B) its graph is symmetrical about the y-axis.

A quadratic graph cannot be "folded" across the x-axis.
The domain, or set of inputs, is all real numbers; there is no value of x for which there will be no y.
The range, or set of outputs, is not all real numbers; there are values of y that will not be used in the graph.

Penny and Kenny have the same number of football cards.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Hello,
Penny==>a*10 (a is an integer)
Kenny==>b*18 (b is an integer)

a*10=b*18==>a=9*b/5 ==>b=5+n*5
a=9*(5+5*n)/5=9*(1+n)=9+9n
If n=0 then a=9 and b=5 :Number od cards: 9*10=10, 5*18=90
if n=1 then a=19 and b=10: Number of cards: 19*10=190>100 to exclude.

So number of cards=90

The total price for the gallons of paint will be 35.75p

The total price for the rollers will be 6r

So the equation if the customer have 190 will be
price for gallons of paint + price for rollers = 190
35.75p + 6r = 190
