5. ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in finding the sum of the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  (25 × 10") + 153 × 10" = (25 +153) × 10" = 178 × 10" = 1780"

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Numbers are miscopied: the numbers in parentheses should be (25 +153). Of course, the sum of these should be 178, not 78.

b) The common factor 10" is somehow expanded to 110' x 10°. It should be 10".

The sum should be ...

  (25 × 10") + 153 × 10" = (25 +153) × 10"

  = 178 × 10" = 1780" . . . . . correct sum

_____

Maybe the middle step is an attempt to convert to feet.

  1780" × (1')/(12") = (148 1/3)' = 148' 4"

____ [38]

Answer: 70  meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the figure attached.

The distance between the walls is:

DE=AD+AE

<em />

Both triangles are right triangles. Therefore, you can calculate the distance  between the walls as following:

- Calculate the distance AD:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(60\°)=\frac{AD}{60}\\AD=30m

- Calculate the distance AE:

tan\beta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\tan(45\°)=\frac{40}{AE}\\\\AE=\frac{40}{tan(45\°)}\\\\AE=40m

Therefore the distance between the walls is:

DE=30m+40m=70m

The product of 16 and 4 less than a number is 208. Find the number.
svlad2 [7]
This is a word problem signifying an algebraic expression.

Translating this to mathematics:

16x - 4 = 208

add 4 to both sides.

16x = 212 

divide 16 to both sides. 

x = \frac{212}{16} 

this is:

x = 13.25

Can some help please
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 * 10^7   You are to use a single digit. That's the 2 on the left. Then count what it takes to get the decimal between the 2 and the 3. It's 7

0.000136

Count the number of zeros. Add a minus 1. You want the number to be counted until you get minus 1 which is the number of powers after the 1.

1 * 10^-4

26837 becomes 2 * 10^4. 4 is the number of digits you have before you get to a number between 1 and 10.

0.0302 becomes 3 * 10^-(1 + 1) = 3 * 10^-2
