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>

Trigonometry
Alchen [17]

The area of the triangle PQR is 17.6 square units.

Explanation:

Given that the sides of the triangle are PQ = 12 and PR = 3 and m\angle P = 78^{\circ}

We need to determine the area of the triangle PQR

<u>Area of the triangle:</u>

The area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,

\text {Area}=\frac{1}{2} qr \sin P

Substituting the values, we get,

\text {Area}=\frac{1}{2}(12)(3) \sin 78

Simplifying, we have,

\text {Area}=\frac{1}{2}(36)(0.98)

Multiplying the terms, we have,

\text {Area}=\frac{35.28}{2}

Dividing, we get,

\text {Area}=17.64

Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we have,

Area=17.6

Thus, the area of the triangle PQR is 17.6 square units.

What's the probability of pulling two red cards in a row from a deck of cards?​
monitta

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's say that we don't have jokers. In that case, there are 52 cards, and half of them are red (so 26 are red). The probability of pulling a red card once is 1/2 since half the cards are red.

If we pick one out, there are only 51 total cards left and 25 red cards. So, the probability of picking one again would be 25/51.

We multiply the probabilities of these two events to find the probability of them both happening.

1/2×25/51=25/102

The probability of picking two red cards in a row is 25/102 or around 24.5%.

Have a wonderful day! :D
