Several batches of stew were made yesterday. Each batch required 1 2/3 pounds of meat. All together, 10 5/6 pounds of meat was u

sed. Janice tried to find the number of batches of stew made. Her work is shown When she checked the answer by estimating, it did not make sense. What error did Janice make?
A Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction.
B Janice added the numerators and denominators instead of multiplying.
C Janice did not change the division problem to multiplication.
D Janice did not convert the improper fraction to a mixed number correctly in the answer

her work:


10 5/6 ÷ 1 2/3

=65/6 ÷ 5/2

=65/6 x 2/5

=130/30

= 4 1/3

Answer:

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see the given steps of Janice's solution to find error made by her.

1. 10\frac{5}{6}\div 1\frac{2}{3}  

We can find the number of stew batches by dividing total amount of meat used by amount of meat needed for each batch.

We have been given that 10\frac{5}{6} pounds of meat was used and each batch required 1\frac{2}{3} pounds of meat, therefore, 1st step is correct.

2. =\frac{65}{6} \times \frac{5}{2}              

Upon converting our mixed fractions to improper fractions we will get,

=\frac{65}{6} \times \frac{5}{3}

We can see that Janice converted 1\frac{2}{3} to \frac{5}{2}, which is not correct. Janice wrote 2 in the denominator of second mixed fraction instead of 3.

Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

Match each number in scientific notation with the number written in standard form and in a step by step process.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1) Option 3

2) Option 1

3) Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Match each number in scientific notation with the number written in standard form and in a step by step process.

Solution :

From scientific to standard we expand the power of 10.

1) 6.82\times 10^7

Remove decimal and open the power,

6.82\times 10^7=\frac{682}{100}\times 10000000

6.82\times 10^7=68200000

Therefore, 6.82\times 10^7=68,200,000

Match with Option 3.

2) 6.82\times 10^{-6}

Remove decimal and open the power,

6.82\times 10^{-6}=\frac{682}{100}\times \frac{1}{1000000}

6.82\times 10^{-6}=\frac{682}{100000000}

Therefore, 6.82\times 10^{-6}=0.00000682

Match with Option 1.

3) 6.82\times 10^6

Remove decimal and open the power,

6.82\times 10^6=\frac{682}{100}\times 1000000

6.82\times 10^6=6820000

Therefore, 6.82\times 10^6=6,820,000

Match with Option 2.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20-%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7Dx%2
ivann1987 [24]

A line parallel to your equation has the same slope, so it should be in the form:


y = (-3/2)x + b


To figure what "b" has to be, plug in the point (4,0) and solve:

0 = (-3/2)*4 + b

0 = -6 + b

6 = b

So the equation of the line is:

y = (-3/2)x + 6

Given (x – 7)2 = 36, select the values of x.
aksik [14]

Answer:

x=1,13

Step-by-step explanation:

(x – 7)^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x – 7)^2) = sqrt(36)

x-7 = ±6

x-7 = 6         x-7 =-6

Add 7 to all sides

x-7+7 = 6+7         x-7+7 = -6+7

x = 13                    x=1
