DESCRIBE AND CORRECT THE ERROR IN THIS EQUIVALENT RATIO THINGY PLEASE
14 times/day X 1 week/7 days =
2 times/ week
I think the answer is 14 times/day x
1 TIME/ 7 days = 2 times/DAY
(I capitalized what i corrected, am I right or not? if I'm not, please correct me ASAP
You have to be kidding.
14 times/day * 7 days/week= 98times/week
Go back to your work. Your units do not divide out. That should have been a clue.
The original equation you provided, "14 times/day x 1 week/7 days = 2 times/week," is incorrect. To understand and correct the error, let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with the given ratio: "14 times/day x 1 week/7 days."
2. To simplify this ratio, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 7 (the common factor for both numbers): (14/7) times/day x (1/7) week/day.
3. Simplifying further, we get 2 times/day x (1/7) week/day.
Here's where the error occurred:
The equation you suggested, "2 times/week," is not correct. The correct calculation should be: 2 times/day x (1/7) week/day = 2/7 times/week. So, the correct answer is "2/7 times/week."
To summarize:
The original equation "14 times/day x 1 week/7 days = 2 times/week" was incorrect. The correct equation is "14 times/day x 1 week/7 days = 2/7 times/week."
