Question

What is the answer ? Please. Which step is wrong

Answer 1

The answer is 305. Step 1 is wrong in the given answer.

Kevin's mistake is that his step 1 in the answer is wrong.

Explanation:

Given expression is
`(2440)/(8)`

Now to simplify the given expression:

Given expression can be written as below

Step 1:
`(2440)/(8)=(2400+40)/(8)`

Step 2:
`(2440)/(8)=(2400)/(8)+(40)/(8)`

Step 3:
`(2400)/(8)+(40)/(8)=300+5` (the sum of the numerators are dividing with their corresponding terms)

Step 4:
`(2440)/(8)=305` (adding the terms)

Step 5: Therefore
`(2440)/(8)=305`

Therefore the answer is 305 and from the problem step 1 is wrong.

Kevin's mistake is that his answer is correct and the step 1 is wrong.

The answer is 305. Step 1 is wrong in the given answer.
