A leaky pool loses 2 and one-fourth inches of water each day. Jermaine and Mildred are asked to determine the change in the amount of water in the pool over 5 days. Jermaine’s Solution Mildred’s Solution 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus one-fourth = negative 10 and one-fourth 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction = negative 11 and one-fourth Which describes the reasoning used to determine whose solution is correct? Jermaine is correct because Negative 10 minus one-fourth equals Negative 10 and one-fourth Jermaine is correct because he distributed 5 correctly. Mildred is correct because she multiplied 5 by –2 but not by Negative one-fourth. Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly.

  Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot tell exactly which solution goes with which student, but we believe you are saying ...

Mildred’s Solution:

  5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth)

  = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction

  = negative 11 and one-fourth

This solution describes the correct distribution of 5. Whoever it belongs to gave the correct solution.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the answer is (b) amie should have multiplied

step-by-step explanation: given a sphere and a cylinder with same radius and height.

let, 'r' be the radius of the cylinder and sphere and 'h' be the height of the cylinder. according to the question,

r = h.

now, the volume of the sphere will be

and the volume of the cylinder will be

therefore, we have

thus, ammie should have multiplied the volume of the sphere
