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.

The surface area of a cube is 96 square inches. What is the length of an edge of the cube, in inches?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has 6 sides and to find the surface area you would multiply one side by 6, or add the six sides together. So instead, to find the length of one side, you divide the surface area, 96, by 6 to get 16.

Hope this helps you :)

from the line y=2x-10 find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and goes through the point (9,-5)
creativ13 [48]
2 is the slope so the slope perpendicular to that is -1/2 (negative reciprocal)
-5=-1/2(9)  9*-1/2=-4.5 and -4.5 - 0.5 = -5 so the equation for the line is y=-1/2x -0.5
