A leaky pool loses 2 and one-fourth inches of water each day. Jermaine and Mildred are asked to determine the change in the amou
nt of water in the pool over 5 days. Jermaine’s Solution Mildred’s Solution 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus one-fourth = negative 10 and one-fourth 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction = negative 11 and one-fourth Which describes the reasoning used to determine whose solution is correct? Jermaine is correct because Negative 10 minus one-fourth equals Negative 10 and one-fourth Jermaine is correct because he distributed 5 correctly. Mildred is correct because she multiplied 5 by –2 but not by Negative one-fourth. Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly.
Triangle ABC is translated 3 units right and 2 units up by looking at point A (-4,5) which is translated to A'(-1,7) we can tell by looking at the points that -4 is shifted by 3 units to the right ti reach -1 and 5 is shifted upwards by 2 units to reach 7
