Answer:
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.
Correct equation
Sum = addition (+)
two-thirds = 2/3
The tree's age = a
10 + 2/3a = 50
2/3a = 50 - 10
2/3a = 40
a = 40 ÷ 2/3
= 40 × 3/2
= 60
a = 60 years
Javier writes the equation
(10 + two-thirds) a = 50
(10 + 2/3)a = 50
(30+2/3)a = 50
32/3a = 50
a = 50 ÷ 32/3
= 50 × 3/32
= 150/32
a = 150/32
His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
He gets $15450 after 1 year.... interest at 3% is $450
Answer:
6:10.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 : 40 + 1 : 30 = 5 : 70
because 60 minutes make an hour and on the minutes side has more than 60, we have to minus 60 minutes and carry the one hour to the other side which is the Hour side.
5 : 70........ minus 60 to get 10.
5 + 1 to get 6.
therfore it is 6 : 10
