I’m gonna say no since it’s 5.74 and it isn’t repeating
Allen's work is not written properly so I have rearranged it as shown below:
Original problem) –8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7.
Step 1) −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
Step 2) −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
Step 3) −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
Step 4) −8.3 + 17.3
We can see that in step 1), Allen changed -4.4 into +4.4 using additive inverse. Notice that we are simplifying not eliminating -4.4 as we do in solving some equation. Hence using additive inverse is the wrong step.
Alen should have collect negative numbers together and positive numbers together.
Add the respective numbers then proceed to get the answer.
–8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7
= –8.3 – 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7
= -12.7 + 12.9
= 0.2

Answer:
1. 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says the ratio is 5 to 2, that means 5 is always first:
5 : 2 is correct
5/2 is correct
10 : 4 is correct (multiplied 2 on both sides)
2/5 is incorrect because 2 is first. That means that this ratio would be 2 to 5, not 5 to 2.
