Question

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!!

In which step does the first mistake appear
(23.8 / 2 + 12) + 14.5 / 2
step 1 (23.8 / 14) + 14.5 /
2 step 2 1.7 + 14.5 / 2
step 3 1.7 + 7.25
step 4 8.95

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The error arises in the equation "(23.8 / 2 + 12)", where the division is incomplete. A slick fix is to rephrase it as "(23.8 / 2) + 12" to ensure accurate calculation, with the division taking precedence over addition, resulting in a cooler computation!

Answer 2

The mistake appears in step 1 where 23.8 is divided by 14 instead of 2.

The correct first step should be: (23.8 / 2) + 12 + (14.5 / 2)

Hope this helps!
