Joylin's work to solve a math problem is shown below. Problem: Manny walked StartFraction 5 Over 16 EndFraction of the distance to the library in One-third of an hour. If he walks at a constant rate, what is the total amount of time he will spend walking to the library? Step 1: StartFraction 5 Over 16 EndFraction divided by one-third = h Step 2: StartFraction 16 Over 5 EndFraction times StartFraction 3 Over 1 EndFraction = h Step 3: StartFraction 48 Over 5 EndFraction = h 9 and three-fifths = h What was Joylin's first error?

She replaced both the divisor and the dividend with their reciprocals when changing division to multiplication in step 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

She switched the divisor and the dividend when creating an equation to model the problem in step 1.

She replaced both the divisor and the dividend with their reciprocals when changing division to multiplication in step 2.

She multiplied the two numerators and the two denominators to generate her product in step 3.

She reduced the improper fraction incorrectly when getting her final answer.

5/16 = 1/3h

Correct steps

Step 1:

h = 5/16 ÷ 1/3

Step 2:

h = 5/16 × 3/1

Step 3:

h = (5*3) / (16*1)

= 15/16

h = 15/16

Incorrect steps:

Step 1: StartFraction 5 Over 16 EndFraction divided by one-third = h

5/16 ÷ 1/3 = h

Step 2: StartFraction 16 Over 5 EndFraction times StartFraction 3 Over 1 EndFraction = h

16/5 × 3/1 = h

Step 3: StartFraction 48 Over 5 EndFraction = h 9 and three-fifths = h

48/5 = h

9 3/5 = h

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5
