Answer 1

The incorrect calculation among the choices provided is the first one, where 950,000,000,000 divided by 95,000,000 equals ten thousand, not one hundred thousand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the calculations provided, we need to identify the one that is incorrect.

Let's evaluate them one by one:

• 950,000,000,000 divided by 95,000,000 equals ten thousand, not one hundred thousand.
• 16,000,000 multiplied by 500,000 indeed equals eight trillion.

A 50% increase on 54,393,658 equals 81,590,487 which is also correct.

To calculate a 50% increase, you multiply the original number by 1.5 (54,393,658 * 1.5 = 81,590,487).

• 26,500 multiplied by 30,000,000 equals 795 billion, which is accurate.
• 69,000,000,000,000 minus 32,435,502 equals 68,999,967,564,498, which has been correctly calculated as well.

The only incorrect calculation among these is the first one.

Dividing 950,000,000,000 by 95,000,000 should yield ten thousand, rather than one hundred thousand.
