Question

Harry solves the equation 1/3t=15. He says the solution is 30. Is his solution correct.

Harry can first substitute (blank) for t. He can the multiply 1/3 by (blank) to get a product of (blank). Since 15 (blank) equal to (blank), Harry's solution (blank) correct

Answer 1

Harry can first substitute 30 for t. He can then multiply
`(1)/(3)` by 30 to get a product of 10. Since, 15 is not equal to 15, Harry's solution is not correct.

Explanation:

Harry solves the equation
`(1)/(3)t = 15`. He says the solution is 30.

Now, to check whether Harry correct or not, Harry can first substitute 30 for t. He can then multiply
`(1)/(3)` by 30 to get a product of 10. Since, 15 is not equal to 15, Harry's solution is not correct.

This is an alternate way to check the answer obtained is correct or not. (Answer)
