Question

Karina is showing her steps to solve the expression −26.7 ÷ 1 over 3. In which step did Karina make an error? Step 1: −26.7 ÷ 1 over 3 Step 2: −26.7 ⋅ −3 Step 3: 80.1

Answer 1

Step 2.

Explanation:

-26.7 divided by 1 over 3. The first thing you would do is make -26.7 a fraction, which is -26.7 over 1. Then you would do -26.7 over 1 times 3 over 1, since you have to switch around the second decimal. This is equal to 80.1. Karina did -26.7 times -3. She made the three negative even though it didn't need to be.

Answer 2

-26.7/1 = -26.7

-26.7/3 does not equal -26.7 x -3
