Answer:

The error was on the diameter. The tire diameter was supposed to be;

4.6+15+4.6=24.2

The student only includes one sidewall width

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on circumerence of a tire

Here we apply the formulae for circumference of a circle

C=2 \pi×r or \pi × d where r is the radius of the tire and d is the diameter

Finding d= diameter of rim + sidewall to the right +sidewall to the left

d= 15+4.6+4.6=24.2 inches

r=d/2= 12.1

C=2 ×\pi×r

C=2×3.14×12.1 =75.99 Inches

Question:

Which of the following expressions represents the distance between 1.7 and −1/2 on a number line?

Choose 1 answer: 

A.\ |1.7 - 1/2|

B.\ |1.7 -(-1/2)|

C. None of the above

Answer:

B.\ |1.7 -(-1/2)|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Numbers: 1.7 and -1/2

Required

Determine the distance

To calculate the distance, we start by calculating the difference between the given numbers;

Difference = 1.7 - (-1/2)

Then, we calculate the distance;

<em>In this case, the distance is meant to be positive; So, we'll introduce the symbol for absolute value;</em>

Hence,

Distance = |Difference|

Substitute 1.7 - (-1/2) for Difference;

Distance = |1.7 - (-1/2)|

<em>Hence, the correct option is B</em>
