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"

Solve the math riddle below
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

28 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes a hen and a half to lay an egg and a half in a day and a half - this means it takes 1 hen to lay 1 egg in a day and a half. Therefore, 1 hen will lay 4 eggs in 6 days, and 7 hens will lay 28 eggs in 6 days.

Please help: A box contains 5 yellow balls, 3 blue, and 1 red ball. Two balls are drawn at random. Find the probability that:
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

a) 0.2778

b) 0.3611

c) 0.1389

d) 0.0833

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 balls

a) First ball being yellow: we have 5 yellow balls, so P1 = 5/9

Second ball being yellow after one yellow was drawn: we have 4 yellows and 8 balls, so P2 = 4/8 = 1/2

Both yellows: P = P1 * P2 = 5/18 = 0.2778

b) Both blues:

P1 = 3/9 = 1/3

P2 = 2/8 = 1/4

P = P1 * P2 = 1/12 = 0.0833

Both yellows or both blues: 5/18 + 1/12 = 0.2778 + 0.0833 = 0.3611

c) First yellow: P1 = 5/9

Second red: P2 = 1/8

Pa = P1 * P2 = 5/72

or

First red: P3 = 1/9

Second yellow: P4 = 5/8

Pb = P3 * P4 = 5/72

P = Pa + Pb = 10/72 = 5/36 = 0.1389

d) First blue: P1 = 3/9 = 1/3

Second red: P2 = 1/8

Pa = P1 * P2 = 1/24

or

First red: P3 = 1/9

Second blue: P4 = 3/8

Pb = P3 * P4 = 1/24

P = Pa + Pb = 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833
