Chris is incorrect. To check the answer, replace m with 8 and simplify the left side. So m/6 turns into 8/6 which converts to the decimal value 1.333 (use a calculator)
Therefore the original equation m/6 = 48 becomes 1.333 = 48 after you plug in m = 8 and simplify fully. The two sides of 1.333 = 48 are not the same, so m = 8 is not the solution.
--------------------
The solution is actually 288 and we can prove it so like this
m/6 = 48
288/6 = 48 .... replace m with 288
48 = 48 .... use a calculator to compute 288/6
So the solution m = 288 is confirmed
------------------
How did I get this answer? By multiplying both sides by 6
m/6 = 48
6*(m/6) = 6*48 ..... multiply both sides by 6
m = 288
So Chris mistakenly divided both sides by 6, which explains how he got 48/6 = 8 as the solution. Instead he should have multiplied both sides by 6. This is to undo the operation "divide by 6" that is being applied to m in the original equation.
Their approximate heating expense would be $1,920. Hope this helps!
Answer:
1) $38.40 2) $255. 3) $5.80 4) $3.12
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have to multiply the years by the amount of money you have. Then you multiply that by the percent and divide by 100. (For the last one: because its a month you have to make it a fraction so it was 8/12)
It would be A because -2 times +6 equals -12
Answer:
638 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you need to cover just the surface area of the box with no overlaps, and the shape is a rectangular prism, then you need to find the surface area of a rectangular prism.
SA = PH + 2LW
where
P = perimeter of base = 2(L + W),
H = height of prism
L = length of base
W = width of base
SA = 2(16 + 7)(9) + 2(16)(7)
SA = 638
