12 apple pies and 3 lemon pies.
Answer:
A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.
C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.
They are not equivalent because 27-(63-8) is equal to -28 and (72-63)-8 is equal to 1.<span />
To estimate an amount to the tenth we have 3 steps to follow: ...
STEP 2: We add the rounded numbers. ...
STEP 1: Round the summands.
STEP 2: Add the rounded numbers.
STEP 3: Look at the total amount of rounding.
We have rounded the two summands down.
<span>The reciprocal is shown as 1/x, or x-1. When we multiply a number by its reciprocalwe get 1. Example: 3 times 1/3 equals 1. Also called the "Multiplicative Inverse" See: Multiplicative Inverse.</span>
