<h3>Answer:  14.85 + c = 20</h3>

============================================================

Reason:

To compute the change, we subtract the amount William gives the cashier (the $20) and the price of the book ($14.85)

The change c is

c = 20-14.85

To rearrange this equation, we can add 14.85 to both sides to end up with 14.85 + c = 20

In other words, solving that equation in bold leads to c = 20-14.85 = 5.15 which is the change William is given.

----------------

Extra info (optional section)

If the cashier wanted to mentally figure out the change in his/her head, then notice the jump from 85 cents to 100 cents is 15 cents. That means we go from 14.85 to 15.00

Then the jump from $15 to $20 is an extra 5 dollars. Overall, the total change given back to William is 0.15+5 = 5.15 dollars.

Bryan created the model to solve 1/2 ÷ 1/8. Do you agree or disagree with his work? If Bryan made a mistake, explain how to solv
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Bryan should have split the \frac{1}{2} into <u>four equal parts</u> (not 8). Each smaller part is \frac{1}{8}

Note how \frac{4}{8} reduces to \frac{1}{2}

Since there are 4 smaller parts or groups, this means

\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{8} = 4

Refer to the diagram below.

If hans memorized 20 of the words which is 1/4 of the list that means you need to multiply by 4 to get the total number of words which would be 80.
