<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
a) Her reasoning is incorrect, she applied a wrong operation, the way to simplify the expression was using the square root property. If we want to extract a number of a square root, we must square that number first in order not to modify the expression.
b) We have that:
and rounding to the nearest tenth, we have that:
To solve the problem, we need to remember the following property of square roots:
We are given the expression:
We can rewrite it by the following way:
Now, applying the square root property we have:

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Ratio of sapphires to emeralds = 3:1
Let the number of sapphires be 3x.
Let the number of emeralds be 'x'.
According to question, if 6 emeralds are added, we get that
So, Number of sapphires = 3×3 = 9
Number of emeralds = 3
So, total emeralds would be 3+ 6 = 9.
Hence, option 'A' is correct.
