Sheila is going to divide a 38-inch piece of ribbon into 5 equal pieces. she says each piece
will be 7 inches long.
what is sheila's error?
sheila should be using the quotient
as part of the length of each piece. each piece will
be 7
inches long

Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.

true

x²=-4/225

x=±√-4/225
