Answer:

  In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.

In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)

  6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property

  6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property

In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.

In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

__

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.

HELP
Masja [62]

Answer:

He confused the height and diameter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the cylinder, r = 2.5 cm

Height of the cylinder, h = 24 cm

The volume of the cylinder is given by the formula as follows :

V=\pi r^2 h\\\\=3.14\times (2.5)^2\times 24\\\\=471\ cm^3

Vaughn is confused in diameter and the height of the cylinder. He takes radius as 12 cm and height as 5 cm which is wrong. Hence, the correct option is (a).
