Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

umka21 [38]
If Keith is represented by x, and Joe is three less than Keith, Troy is represented by x-3. 
Then, we know that Joe exercises for twice the amount of time as Troy, we multiply the expression for Joe by two. 

Keith = x
Troy = x-3
Joe = 2(x-3)

Hello! Please help. <br> "Find the error &amp; explain why it is wrong."
mixas84 [53]

Answer: Step E

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is in the last step. In Step D, we see that we're supposed to subtract the second part from the first part. We also see we have the terms 2x-8 in the numerator on the right. Since we're subtracting, the expression should actually be -2x +8. 3 -2x +8 should be -2x +11 which is not the numerator in Step E so the last step is wrong.

Write the following equation in slope -intercept form : y - 3 = 4(x + 2)​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y=4x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 4 into the parentheses to get y-3=4x+8 then invert -3 so add three to both sides to get rid of it so instead of +8 its +11 so now its y=4x+11 and slope intercept is y=mx+b, so 4 is m, slope, and 11 is b, the y intercept i hope that helps
