Georgette created a factor tree and wrote the prime factorization of 72 shown here. A factor tree of 72. 72 branches to 8 and 9. 8 branches to 2 and 4. 4 branches to 2 and 2. 72 = 23 × 9 What is Georgette’s error? A. Georgette should have started the factor tree with 2 × 36. B. Georgette did not complete the factorization; 9 is a composite number. C. Georgette should have expressed 4 as 4 x 1, not 2 x 2. D. Georgette should have expressed 8 as 4 × 4, not 2 × 4.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Georgette did not complete the factorization; 9 is a composite number.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 can be broken down to 3x3

So it the prime factorization of 72 should be 2x2x2x3x3

Answer 2

Georgette’s error is Georgette should have expressed 8 as 4 × 4, not 2 × 4.

The correct option is D.

The correct prime factorization of 72 is 2³ × 3², which means it can be expressed as the product of prime numbers raised to their respective exponents.

Analyzing the factor tree provided by Georgette, we can see that she made an error when branching from 72 to 8 and 9.

The prime factorization of 8 should be 2³, not 2 × 4, and the prime factorization of 9 should be 3², not 2 × 2.

Therefore, Georgette's error is that she have expressed 8 as 2³ × 1 or 4 × 2, not as 2 × 4.

The correct factor tree for 72 would be:

    72

  /  \

2   36

    / \

   2   18

       / \

      2   9

          / \

         3   3

So, the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ × 3².

suppose that Y varies directly with X andY equals 12 when X equals -2 what is X when Y equals -6

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation has the following format:

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

Where k is a constant.

We know that y is 12 when x is -2. Thus, substitute:

[tex]12=-2k[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2:

[tex]k=-6[/tex]

So, our direct variation equations is:

[tex]y=-6x[/tex]

To find what x is when y equals -6, substitute in -6 for y:

[tex]-6=-6x[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

So, our answer is 1 :)

Mitchell works at the local movie theater. He currently has $395 in his
savings account and he plans to deposit $30 in his account every week.
Define the variable and write an algebraic expression to show how much
money Mitchell will have in his account after any number of weeks.

Answers

Answer: 395+30x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mitchell has $395  now.

He saved $30 each week.

Let x be a variable that represents the number of weeks.

Since, Total amount = Current money + (Money save each week ) (Number of weeks)

Then,  Total amount =  (395 ) + (30)(x)

= 395+30x

Hence, the required algebraic expression= 395+30x

Answers

Answer:

5.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the 3.4 pounds of trail mix is:

STEP 1:

multiply number of pounds purchased by price per pound

= 3.4 pounds * $4.25 per pound

= $14.45 total cost

STEP 2:

subtract total cost of purchase (step 1) from amount she gave cashier ($20.00)

= $20.00 - $14.45

= $5.55 amount received back from cashier

Ms. Ciervo is making cupcakes. She has 9 2/3 teaspoons of vanilla. Each cupcake needs to have -1/3 teaspoon of vanilla. How many cupcakes can she make?

Answers

Answer:

The number cupcakes Ms. Ciervo can make using the [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

Ms. Ciervo has [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla. Each cupcake needs to have [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] teaspoon of vanilla.

Compute the number cupcakes Ms. Ciervo can make using the [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla as follows:

Amount of vanilla required for one cupcake = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] teaspoons

Total amount of vanilla available [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons.

[tex]\text{number of cupcakes}=\frac{\text{total amount}}{\text{amount required for 1 cupcake}}[/tex]

                               [tex]=\frac{9\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=\frac{29}{3}\div\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{29}{3}\times \frac{3}{1}\\\\=29[/tex]

Thus, the number cupcakes Ms. Ciervo can make using the [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla is 29.

use this information for items 1-3. Aaron has $65 to rent a bike in the city . It costs $15 per hour to rent a bike. The additional fee for a helmet is $3 for the entire ride​

Answers

Answer:

You will ride for 4 hrs 8min

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are expected to solve for that the problem did not expressly state is most likely the number of hours that you could ride for an amount of $65.

firstly we need to model the inequality (equation) for this scenario.

the constant fee= $3 additional fee for helmet

[tex]3+15n\leq 65\\\\[/tex]

We can now solve for n since the above inequality satisfies the condition presented in the problem statement.

 [tex]3+15n\leq 65\\\\15n\leq65-3\\\\ 15n\leq 62[/tex]

Divide both sides by 15 to find n

[tex]n\leq 62/15\\\\n\leq 4hrs -8min[/tex]

The value will be greater than 1 because (-3)+(-9) is a positive number. A number in scientific notation with a
positive exponent has a value greater than 1.
The value will be greater than 1 because (-3)-(-9) - 6. A number in scientific notation with a positive exponent is
greater than 1.
The value will be less than 1 because 5.88 - 8.54 is less than 1. The negative exponents will make it even smaller.
The number will be less than 1 because 5.68 x 10- is a very small number and division always makes the size of a
number smaller.
