Ms. Nellies
s of vinegar for her students to use in a science experiment. Each
group of students needs pint of vinegar. Trey draws the number line model and writes the
equation below to help Ms. Nellies figure out how many -pint servings of vinegar she has.
Are Trey's number line model and equation correct?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the equation is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u show the equation

The correct equation is [tex]2\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

= 2 1/2 ➗ 3/8

= 5/2 ➗ 3/8

[tex]= \frac{ 5 \times 8}{2 \times 3}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{40}{6} \\\\ = \frac{20}{3}[/tex]

[tex]= 6\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the equation is incorrect

Trey's Number line model is incorrect because it represents the expression

[tex]2\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Ms. Nellies has enough vinegar for 6 groups of students as [tex]2\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]= 6\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
