Leticia simplified an expression. Her work is shown below. 4.5 divided by one-fourth + 2 and one-half minus 0.75 times 8
Step 1 18 + 2 and one-half minus 0.75 times 8
Step 2 18 + 1.75 times 8
Step 3 18 + 14
Step 4 32

Where did Leticia make her first mistake?

answer: 20

step-by-step explanation:

d. 8

step-by-step explanation:

the given radical expression is:

we can rewrite this as:

we express as square numbers to get;

the exponents will now cancel out to give.

the correct answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
