Which best explains Alejandro’s error? The division was computed incorrectly. The division was completed in the incorrect order. The decimal was moved to the right too many times. The decimal was moved to the right instead of the left.

Answer 1

Alejandro makes an error in the first steps he divides 8 by 5 which is incorrect he has to divide 5 by 8, and in the second step, he does not multiply the term by 100 and it can be determined by using fraction or percentage.

Given that,

Alejandro uses the steps below to convert 5/8 to a percent.

1.6 = 160 percent

We have to determine,

Which best explains Alejandro's error?

According to the question,

Alejandro uses the steps below to convert 5/8 to a percent.

8 divided by 5 = 1.6.,

1.6 = 160 percent

The division was computed incorrectly.

The division was completed in the incorrect order. The decimal was moved to the right too many times.

The decimal was moved to the right instead of the left.

Alejandro uses the steps below to convert 5/8 to a percent.

To convert 5/8 into percentages following all the steps given below.

• Step1; Firstly 5 is divided by 8,

                   $= \dfrac{5}{8} \\\\ = 0.625$

• Step2; To convert 0.625 into percentage multiplied by 100,

                    $\rm = 0.625 \times 100\\\\= 62.5 \ percent$

Hence, Alejandro makes an error in the first steps he divides 8 by 5 which is incorrect he has to divide 5 by 8, and in the second step, he does not multiply the term by 100.
