Answer:
5, 9,13,17
Step-by-step explanation:
5 +4 +4+4
He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
(6/13)/(6/12)= (6/13)*(12/6)= 12/13
This rule for division applies to all fraction divisions
1/5 is .2
.1^2 is .01
.02 is .02
So the furthest left would be the smallest number, which in this case is 0.1^2
