Answer:

The division was computed incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Workings:

$\frac{5}{8}$ to percentage

$\frac{8}{5} = 1.6 = 160\%$

Required

Explain his error

The question says 5/8

Instead, Alejandro's working shows 8/5.

This working is done in an incorrect order and the correct solution is:

Let

$x = \frac{5}{8}$

Solve the fraction

$x = 0.625$

Multiply by 100%

$x = 0.625 * 100\%$

$x = 62.5\%$

<em>Hence, option (a) is correct.</em>

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure required in the question is missing, the figure can be found in attachment.

Transforming points T and V according to the rule (x,y) -> (3/4x, 3/4y), we get:

T(-4, 8) -> (-4*3/4, 8*3/4) -> (-3, 6) which corresponds to T'

V(0, 4) -> (0*3/4, 4*3/4) -> (0, 3) which corresponds to V'

fiasKO [112]

wheat = $0.96 lb rye = $1.89 lb

12w + 15r = 3987 15w + 10r = 3330 r = (3330 - 15w)/10 12w + 15r = 3987 12w + 15((3330 - 15w)/10) = 3987 12w + (15/10)(3330 - 15w) = 3987 12w + 4995 - 22.5w = 3987 10.5w = 1008 w = 96 cents r = 189 cents.
