Harry solves the equation 1/3t = 15. He says the solution is 30. Is his answer correct? Fill in the blanks to explain how Harry can check whether his solution is correct.

Harry can first substitute for t. He can then multiply 1/3 by to get a product of . Since 15 equal to , Harry’s solution correct.

Harry can first substitute 30 for t

He can then multiply by 30 to get a product of 10

Since, 10 is not equal to 15, Harry's solution is not correct.

Solution:

Given that,

Harry solves the equation:

He says the solution is 30

We have to check if his answer is correct or not

Fill in the blanks to explain how Harry can check whether his solution is correct

Harry can first substitute 30 for t

He can then multiply by 30 to get a product of 10

Since, 10 is not equal to 15, Harry's solution is not correct

Correct solution:

Thus correct solution is 45

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
