Every child was given a orange cut into 8/8 pieces, Each child ate 5/8 pieces leaving 3/8 pieces each. How many kids were in their family. So each kid has 3/8 so you would add up 3/8 + 3/8 until you get a whole number of three. Or you can multiply the 3/8 by 8 or 8/1 (same thing) and get 24/8 slices which would simplify down to 3 full oranges, so there would be 8 kids because 8 x 3 = 24.

4. Error Analysis Jacinta says that the product of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational. Explain her
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

She did not consider the multiplicative inverse property of a real number

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacinta in her conclusion did not consider the Multiplicative Inverse property of real numbers.

Let x be an irrational number.

So, $ x.\frac{1}{x}= 1$

If x is an irrational number, then its reverse is also an irrational number. So by the Multiplicative Inverse property their product is 1 and 1 is a rational number. Thus, Jacinta was incorrect.
