HELP!!
Lucita does the division problem 3.302 ÷ -1.27, and gets -0.026. She doesn't understand this result because she had estimated the answer to be -3. What was Lucita's mistake?
(A)The decimal point should be to the left of the 2.
(B)The decimal point should be to the left of the 6.
(C)Lucita's estimate is too low.
(D)Lucita's estimate is too high.
The decimal point should be to the left of the 6.
What is Division?A division is a process of splitting a specific amount into equal parts.
A is INCORRECT because Lucita's estimate is about right and if the decimal point was to the left of 2, then the answer would be -0.26 which is still too small.
B is CORRECT because again Lucita's estimate is about right and if the decimal is to the left of six the number would be -2.6 which is close to her estimate (-3)
C is INCORRECT because it is saying that -0.026 is the correct answer and Lucita's estimate was just too small which is incorrect since we know -0.026 is actually what is too small.
D is INCORRECT because it is saying that -0.026 is correct and if her estimate (-3) was too high, it would be bigger than the number she got which was -0.026 and regardless of anything we know -3 is not bigger that -0.026.
Hence the decimal point should be to the left of the 6. Option C is correct.

Which of the following shows the proper steps for constructing an angle bisector?
Option 2 is the correct answer because it shows the proper steps for constructing an angle bisector using a compass and a straightedge.
Steps:
Draw the angle to be bisected.
Place the compass point at the vertex of the angle and draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle.
Without changing the compass radius, place the compass point at each of the arc intersection points and draw two more arcs that intersect each other.
Draw a line from the vertex of the angle through the point of intersection of the two arcs.
This line is the angle bisector.
The other options are incorrect because they do not show all of the necessary steps, or they show the steps in the wrong order.
For example, option 1 shows the steps for constructing an angle bisector using a protractor, but this is not the method that was asked for.
Option 3 shows the steps for constructing an angle bisector using a compass and a straightedge, but it does not show the step of drawing the arc through the vertex of the angle.
Option 4 is incorrect because it shows the steps for constructing an angle bisector using a ruler and a triangle, but this is not the method that was asked for.

A coffee pot contains 1 1/2 quarts of coffee after Tony pours an equal amount of coffee to cups 3 1/2 cups of coffee Remain the pot how much coffee did Tony pour into each cup
x = 1 1/4 cups
x = 1.25 cup
Tonya poured 1 1/4 cups into each cup.
Tony poured a total of 2 1/2 cups of coffee into an unspecified number of cups.
To solve this problem, we first need to understand the different units of measurement being used and convert them appropriately. In the United States, 1 quart is equal to 4 cups. So, we will start by converting the coffee in the pot to cups.
The coffee pot originally contained 1 1/2 quarts of coffee. To find out how much this is in cups, we multiply by 4 (since there are 4 cups in 1 quart):
1 1/2 quarts = 1.5 quarts
1.5 quarts * 4 cups/quart = 6 cups
Thus, the coffee pot had 6 cups of coffee before Tony poured it into cups.
After pouring, 3 1/2 cups of coffee remain in the pot. To find out how much coffee was poured into the cups, we subtract the remaining coffee from the initial amount:
6 cups - 3 1/2 cups = 2 1/2 cups
This means that Tony poured a total of 2 1/2 cups of coffee into the cups. If we assume that he poured an equal amount into each cup, we would divide the total amount poured by the number of cups to find the amount per cup. However, since we don't know how many cups he filled, we can only conclude that Tony poured a total of 2 1/2 cups of coffee into an unspecified number of cups.

a number q multiplied by 1/4 is greater than -16
Final answer:
The student is dealing with an inequality where a number q is multiplied by [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and needs to be greater than -16. Upon solving, the result is that q must be greater than -64.
Explanation:
The student is asking about an inequality in mathematics where a number q multiplied by [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] must be greater than -16. To solve this, we set up the inequality as follows:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × q > -16
When solving for q, you would multiply both sides of the inequality by 4 to isolate q:
q > -16 × 4
q > -64
Therefore, the value of q must be greater than -64 to satisfy the inequality.
