Answer:

The error is that the question equals -13-13.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is absolute value, so anything inside of the bars is positive. Since the first -13 has bars around it it would be positive. But since the second - is outside of the 13 with bars, the 13 stays negative, so it would be 13-13. Hope this helps! :)

1) Resultant fraction: $\frac{65}{63}$

2) Total soil: $1\frac{7}{8}$ pounds

3) Result of the product: $\frac{35}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we want to find the product between the two fractions

$\frac{13}{14}$

and

$\frac{10}{9}$

In order to find this product, we have to multiply the numerators of each fraction and the denominators of each fraction. We get:

$\frac{13}{14}\cdot \frac{10}{9}=\frac{13\cdot 10}{14\cdot 9}=\frac{130}{126}$

Now we simplify, dividing both numerator and denominator by 2:

$\frac{130/2}{126/2}=\frac{65}{63}$

And the fraction cannot be further simplified.

Here we have:

n = 5 (number of pots that Andy has)

$s=\frac{3}{8}$ (amount of soil (in pounds) that each pot can contain)

In order to find the amount of soil that Andy needs to fill all the pots, we have to multiply the number of pots (n) by the amount of soil that each pot can contain (s).

If we do so, we find:

$t=n \cdot s = 5 \cdot \frac{3}{8}=\frac{5\cdot 3}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$
