Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion that Alan solved was
x/200 = 8/25
His working as shown was
(8)(x) = (25) (200)
8x = 5000
He divided both sides of the equation by 8. It became
8x/8 = 5000/8
x = 625
The correct steps are
25x = 200 × 8 = 1600
Dividing both sides of the equation by 25, it becomes
x = 1600/25
x = 64
Alan's error were:
1) He got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200.
2)He got the wrong quotient when he divided 5,000 by 8.

Answer:
commutative property
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>commutative property of multiplication</em> lets you swap the order of the operands (7*3) and 8 to make them have the order 8 and (7*3).
Sure! So this is ready as "the cube root of 125". This basically means, "what number cubed can get me 125?"
Let's go through our options.
We can rule out D, as D cubed would be unreasonably big.
We can also rule out C, because 375 cubed is easily over 10000, you know this even if you haven't computed it all, just compute the 300 cubed.
We can rule out B, too. 41 squared is already over 125, therefore it can't be the answer.
Therefore our answer is A, 5. We can check that by cubing 5, and that indeed gets us 125.
Hope this helps!
