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>

A square pyramid has a height of 12 feet. Each side to of base is 7 feet long. use the following formula to calculate the pyrami
MissTica
Let's find the area of the base first:
7×7=49
The S stands for the sides of the base. Since you are multiplying them by each other, you are basically squaring them.

Let's now multiply the area of the base by the height.
49×12=588

Now, let's multiply by 1/3.
588×1/3 or 588÷3
196

So, the volume is 196 ft³.
