Answer:
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sarah's calculation
Let
x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
(5/3.5) = (12/x)
Cross product
3.5x=60 (Here is her error)
x=17.14
Correct calculation
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
5 / 3.5 = 12 / x
Cross product
5 * x = 3.5 * 12
5x = 42
x = 42 / 5
= 8.4
x = $8.4
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost
This triangle has 60 degrees already. Remember that the sum of all triangles have to be 180.
Since we have two y's we can simplify it as 2y + 60 = 180.
We can now set this up as an algebraic equation.
2y + 60 = 180
Subtract 60 from both sides.
2y = 120
Divide both sides by 2
y = 60.
Y = 60, your answer is D.)
I hope this helps!
It will be 0.073. because the 73 is in the 1000 place
