Kim is showing her steps to solve the expression −18.9 ÷ 1 over 4. In which step did Kim make an error? Step 1: −18.9 ÷ 1 over 4 Step 2: −18.9 ⋅ 4 Step 3: 75.6 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 There is no error. HELP PLEASE

step 1 would be wrong because when you divide -18.9 by 1/4 then you get -4.725 so thats were they messed up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how is it wrong because all he did on step 1 is rewrite the expression @claritamontano

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, sorry just looked at the problem in detail, so when you multiply, -18.9*4 what do you get??
