1 answer:

grin007 [14]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Her first mistake was in Step 2. She added 0.2 to each term instead of multiplying by 0.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

CORRECT WAY:

0.2(4+1.4y - 2.1)

0.8 + 0.28y - 0.42

0.8 - 0.42 + 0.28y

0.38 + 0.28y

WHAT TAMARA DID:

0.2(4+1.4y - 2.1)

How she got 4.2: 0.2 + 4 = 4.2

How she got 1.6y: 0.2 + 1.4y = 1.6y

How she got -1.9: 0.2 + -2.1 = -1.9

WHAT SHE DID HERE IS WRONG. REMEMBER WHEN IT IS __( ______) IT MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO MULTIPLE NUMBER OUTSIDE THE PARATNESS TO EVERY NUMBER THAT IS INSIDE THE PARATNESS.

Answer: The answer is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question and shown in the attached figure, Keyley drew the rectangle 'R' and square 'S' with equal areas.

Also, the length of Keyley's rectangle 'R' = 8 inches. Let the breadth be 'b' inches. Again, let 'l' be the length of a side of square 'S'.
