Ming used the calculations shown to find out how much he would spend on 6 pounds of ground beef if 10 pounds of ground beef cost

$25.00. StartFraction 10 pounds over 25 dollars EndFraction = StartFraction 10 pounds divided by 25 over 25 dollars divided by 25 EndFraction = StartFraction 0.4 over 1 EndFraction. Unit Price = 40 cents. 40 cents times 6 = 2 dollars and 40 cents. What was Ming's error? He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value. He divided the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 25. He made a mistake when finding the quotient of 10 pounds and 25 dollars. He made a mistake when finding the product of $0.40 and 6.

Answer:

He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

Unit\ Price = 40\ cents

40\ cents * 6 = \$2.40

Required

Determine Ming's error

Ming's error is from here

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

He calculated the unit rate as pound per dollar.

So, after calculating the unit rate, the unit should be:

Unit\ Rate = 0.4\ pound/\$

But instead, he solved as:

Unit\ Rate = \$0.4/ pound

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

Find the shaded region of the figure below​
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

-x³ + 3x² - 14x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of outer rectangle = (x² + 3x - 4) * (2x - 3)

      = (x² + 3x - 4) * 2x  + (x² + 3x - 4) * (-3)

     =x²*2x + 3x *2x - 4*2x  + x² *(-3) + 3x *(-3)  - 4*(-3)

     =2x³ + 6x² - 8x - 3x² - 9x + 12

    = 2x³ + <u>6x² - 3x²</u>   <u>- 8x - 9x</u> + 12     {Combine like terms}

    = 2x³ + 3x² - 17x + 12

Area of inner rectangle = (x² - 1)* 3x

                                       = x² *3x - 1*3x

                                       = 3x³ - 3x

Area of shaded region = area of outer rectangle - area of inner rectangle

         = 2x³ + 3x² - 17x + 12 - (3x³ - 3x)

         = 2x³ + 3x² - 17x + 12 -3x³ + 3x

        = 2x³ - 3x³ + 3x² - 17x + 3x + 12

        = -x³ + 3x² - 14x + 12

Solve the equation.<br> у+ 3 = -у +9<br> Оy = 1<br> Оy= 3<br> O y=6<br> Оy= 9
Triss [41]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y:

y + 3 = 9 - y

Add y to both sides:

y + y + 3 = (y - y) + 9

y - y = 0:

y + y + 3 = 9

y + y = 2 y:

2 y + 3 = 9

Subtract 3 from both sides:

2 y + (3 - 3) = 9 - 3

3 - 3 = 0:

2 y = 9 - 3

9 - 3 = 6:

2 y = 6

Divide both sides of 2 y = 6 by 2:

(2 y)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

y = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer:  y = 3
