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}

Averi estaba intentando factorizar 4x^2+20x-164x
Darina [25.2K]

Responder:

El ancho del modelo de área de Averi será x² + 5x-4

Explicación paso a paso:

Deje que el área del modelo de Averi sea igual a la ecuación dada

4x² + 20x-16

Si el mayor factor común del modelo es 4, esto significa que 4 se puede factorizar fácilmente de la ecuación como se muestra;

4 * (x² + 5x-4) ... (1)

Si la fórmula para el modelo de área = Largo * Ancho

Al comparar la fórmula para encontrar el área del modelo con la ecuación 1, el ancho del modelo de área será la función entre paréntesis, es decir,

x² + 5x-4

El ancho del modelo de área de Averi será x² + 5x-4

gtnhenbr [62]

If you break down the beginning part, its 150 ÷ 3 = 50, so that means each class took 50 minutes. Not only that, you get your 'Time/Minutes per Class'. From there, you can multiply 50 by 5 and get 250 minutes, or 4 hours and 10 minutes.

In short: 250 minutes or 4 hours and 10 minutes.
