HELP ASAP ITS SO HARD! Kelsey did the following division problem. Her teacher says that the quotient she found is wrong. −2 5/6

÷ 1 1/3 −17/6 ÷ 4/3 −6/17• 3/4 −6×3 divided by 17×4 −18/68 −9/34 A. Identify what Kelsey did wrong in her calculations. B. Find the correct quotient, showing all of your calculations.

Part A

Her steps were

-2 \frac{5}{6} \div 1 \frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{17}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}\\\\-\frac{6}{17} \times \frac{3}{4}\\\\-\frac{6\times 3}{17\times4}\\\\-\frac{18}{68}\\\\-\frac{9}{34}\\\\

Kelsey made a mistake on line 3. Note how the 17/6 flips to 6/17. This is not correct. You keep the first fraction the same, but you do flip the second fraction. This only applies when you divide two fractions.

The third step should look like -\frac{17}{6}\times \frac{3}{4}

=======================================================

Part B

Here's what she should have written

-2 \frac{5}{6} \div 1 \frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{17}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}\\\\-\frac{17}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}\\\\-\frac{17\times 3}{6\times 4}\\\\-\frac{51}{24}\\\\-\frac{17}{8}\\\\

If you want to convert that improper fraction to a mixed number, then you could do something like this

-\frac{17}{8} = -\frac{16+1}{8}\\\\-\frac{17}{8} = -\frac{16}{8}-\frac{1}{8}\\\\-\frac{17}{8} = -2 \frac{1}{8}\\\\

Or you could divide 17 over 8 using long division to get 2 remainder 1. The 2 is the quotient that goes to the left of the 1/8. The remainder of 1 is the numerator of 1/8.

In a right triangle, CosA=0.352 and SinA=0.936 What is the approximate value of tanA?
mr_godi [17]
\tan A=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}

Proof: \sin\div\cos=\frac{o}h\div\frac{a}h=\frac{o}h\times\frac{h}a=\frac{oh}{ha}=\frac{o}a=\tan

\cos A=0.352,\ \sin A=0.936

\tan A=\frac{0.936}{0.352}

\boxed{\tan A=2.65\overline{90}} <em>(round as needed)</em>

If you set aside $9000 at the end of each year for the next 22 years in a Roth IRA, how much will you have at your retirement 22
madam [21]

Answer:

$501,049.37

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the amount after 22 years we need to applied the future value which is shown in the attachment below:

Given that

PMT = $9,000

NPER = 22 years  

Annual rate = 0.078

Quarterly= 0.078 ÷ 4 = 0.0195

Effective annual rate = (1.0195^4) - 1 = 0.0803113041

Now applied the formula which is given below

= -FV(RATE;NPER;PMT;PV)

After applying the above formula, the future value is $501,049.37
