Ashton estimates the square root of 72 in the following way: √72= 2√36=2×6=12 a)explain why his reasoning is incorrect. b)estimate the square root of 72 to the nearest tenth without using your calculator. show your work.

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find √72, we must factor 72, remembering that the factor 36 is a perfect square:

√72 = √2·√36, or 6√2.  Ashton failed to take the square root of the factor 2 of 72.

√72 = 6√2, and √2 is approx. 1.414.

Multiplying 1.414 by 6 results in 8.5, which is to the nearest tenth.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
