Cecilia simplified an expression. Her work is shown below. (6 and one-half + 2 and three-fourths) minus 1.5 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)
Step 1 9 and one-fourth minus 1.5 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)
Step 2 7.75 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)
Step 3 7.75 times 9
Step 4 69.75

Where did Cecilia make her first mistake?

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.

actually your concept is wrong

step-by-step explanation:

150% of x =300

150x=300×100

x=(300×100)÷150

x=200

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
