Matt is showing his work in simplifying (6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8. Identify any error in his work or reasoning. Step 1: (6.2 − 1.6

) − 4.4 + 7.8 Step 2: 6.2 + (− 1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8 (commutative property) Step 3: 6.2 − 6 + 7.8 Step 4: −14 − 6 = 8 (commutative property) Step 5: 14 − 6 = 8
(a)-He wrote commutative instead of distributive in Step 4.
(b)-He wrote commutative instead of distributive in Step 2.
(c)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 4.
(d)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

Answer:

The correct option is (d)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative property: a+b=b+a

Associative property: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

Now consider the provided expression.

(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 1

(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 2 Use Associative property

6.2 + (−1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8

Step 3: Simplify

6.2 − 6 + 7.8

Step 4: Use commutative property

14 − 6

Step 5: Simplify

14 − 6 = 8

Hence, the wrong step is step 2. He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

Therefore, the correct option is (d)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

A rectangle pool is 7 ft wide, it is 3 times as long as it is wide what’s the dimensions of the pool?
svetoff [14.1K]

The length is 3 times longer than the width (7)

3 x 7 = 21

the length is 21.

To find perimeter, add all sides together:

21 + 21 + 7 + 7 = 42 + 14 = 56

56 ft is your answer

hope this helps

Answer each question using ratios.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

B) 42:28

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's get 12:18 simplified to make it easier to compare:

12:18 -> 4:6 - > <u>2:3</u>

Now let's check it against all the options:

A) 20:30 -> 2:3 and 2:3 = 2:3

Not our answer as it is congruent (equal too, the same as, etc)

B) We can see that the first number is larger than the second number, so without doing too much math we can see this is our answer!

42:28

(it simplifes to 6:4 -> 3:2)

(we do not have to do the following as we already have an answer, but here is the math)

C) 4:6

4:6 ->

2:3 = 2:3

D) 2:3

2:3 = 2:3
