Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step

s below. What was Jada’s error? Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction) = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction) x = negative StartFraction 1 over 48 EndFraction

Answer:

Jada's mistake was that he multiplied the equation by (-9/4) instead of using 108 to achieve a coefficient of one for x. He ought to have multiplied by 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Jada tackled the equation

-4/9 = x/108

following these steps:

-4/9 = x/108

(-4/9)(-9/4) = (x/108)(-9/4)

x = -1/48

The error was multiplying by (-4/9) when multiplying by 108 was the correct approach.

If he had multiplied by 108, it would result in

(-4/9)(108) = (x/108)(108)

-48 = x

x = -48

Thus, the correct answer should have been

x = -48

rather than

x = -1/48

Answer: The least amount spent amounts to £12.92 Step-by-step explanation: Given Number of Cartons = 38 A carton costs 45 pence 4 cartons cost £1.56 In order to minimize expenses, one must opt for the cheaper choice. Since there are 100 pence in £1, this means that £1.36 is equivalent to x pence, where x * 1 = 1.36 * 100, leading to x = 136 pence for four cartons. To find the cost of a single carton, divide x by 4; thus, x/4 = 136p/4, resulting in x/4 = 34 pence. This indicates that a carton of juice can be purchased at 34 pence and 45 pence, with 34 pence being the better deal. Therefore, the total expenditure equals 34 * 38, which converts to 1292p and subsequently to £12.92.

The solution is 700 feet, as dividing 5,280 feet by 1 mile results in 88 feet per second. By then multiplying 88 feet by 8 seconds, the result is 704 feet. Since the phrasing of the question included "about," I interpreted that to imply rounding. Thus, 704 is rounded down to 700, leading to this conclusion.
