Fernando evaluated the expression below. StartFraction 5 (9 minus 5) over 2 EndFraction + (negative 2) (negative 5) + (negative

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Question:

Fernando evaluated the expression below.

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} -10 + 9 = \frac{20}{2} - 10 + 9 = 10 - 10 + 9 = 9$

What was Fernando's error?

- Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.

- Fernando simplified 20/2 incorrectly.

- Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

- Fernando evaluated (-3)² incorrectly.

Answer:

- Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Explanation:

Given

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} -10 + 9 = \frac{20}{2} - 10 + 9 = 10 - 10 + 9 = 9$

Required

Spot the error

The error in this evaluation is the product of -2 and -5 at step 2

When a negative number (-2) is multiplied by a negative number (-5), the outcome of the multiplication is always a positive number (10).

So, the result of -2 * -5 is 10 but Fernando incorrectly calculated it as -10.

Solving the expression, correctly

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} + 10 + 9$

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{20}{2} + 10 + 9$

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = 10 + 10 + 9$

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = 29$

Hence, the actual result of the expression is 29 (not 9 as calculated by Fernando).

Taste Words Practice 4 PLEASE HELP

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The benefit buffet for cancer research was a big hit. The salad was crunchy, and the croutons were crisp. The punch they served was very refreshing. The peaches were juicy and messy to eat. The grapefruit, however, had an acidic taste to them. The mouth-watering meatballs were eaten quickly. The roast beef was very tender. It seemed to melt into the mouth. The milk had been sitting out too long, so it tasted sour. The green olives were very bitter and they were also eaten quickly. The lasagna, which had been baked with aluminum foil that had melted into the food, tended to have a metallic taste. Overall, the buffet was definitely an unforgettable experience.

Are beauty contests a good thing for young girls?

Marina86 [1]

it's wrong, and part of premature sexualising of young girls. There may be some good things that girls learn from this, but they learn a whole lot more bad stuff, like excessive vanity, a money hungry attitude, and the backstabbing and cattiness that often goes on among the mothers.
