Jordan said 60% of 150 people is 80 people. his work is shown below. is his answer correct? explain why or why not. jordan's work: 60% of 150 = 10% + 50% = 5 + 75 = 80

Sample response: No, his answer is not correct. Jordan incorrectly found that 10% of 150 is 5. 10% of 150 is 150 ÷ 10 = 15. 50% of 150 is 75. 10% + 50% = 15 + 75 = 90. The correct answer is 90 people.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
