Annabelle and Navene are multiplying (4275)(4372).

Annabelle's Work Navene's Work
(4275)(4372) = 42 + 375 + 2 = 4577 (4275)(4372) = 42⋅375⋅2 = 46710

Is either of them correct? Explain your reasoning.

Question

Annabelle and Navene are multiplying (4275)(4372).



Annabelle's Work	Navene's Work
(4275)(4372) = 42 + 375 + 2 = 4577	(4275)(4372) = 42⋅375⋅2 = 46710

Is either of them correct? Explain your reasoning.

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

No they are suppost to multiply 4,275 (four thousand two hundred and seventy five) by 4,372 (four thousand three hundred and seventy two) 
Anabelle split the whole number 4,275 and added them together. This is obviously wrong.
Navene split the whole number and then multiplied them. This is also wrong
the correct answer would be = 18,690,300

Thank you so much!

No problem, if you ever get stuck on these types of answers just use a calculator and it will save you tons of time. The whole point of word problems is to throw you off of the original equation which was just a simple multiplication problem. Just read it carefully and you'll get it

I was actually reviewing it with my teacher and she said it was right. that's weird.@Jacobbenvenutty

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

That "Anebelle" or "Navene" had a right answer?

anonymous · Answer

im not sure, but she said yes one of them were correct.

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

What type of math/lesson are you doing at the moment?

anonymous · Answer

scientific notation and algebra I don't understand it.

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

From my personal knowledge non of those are correct answers. I would ask your teacher to review it with you completely. Don't let her get away with just "one of them is the right answer"

anonymous · Answer

I agree. thank you. do you mind helping me with a few more?

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

i can do one more then i have to get off

anonymous · Answer

okay Find a rational number and an irrational number that are between 7.7 and 7.9. Include the decimal approximation of the irrational number to the nearest hundredth

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

7 over 8/10 is one. It simplifies to 7.8 and is a rational number

jacobbenvenutty · Answer

7.797979797979 is irrational. It can't be expressed as a fraction because it has repeating decimals. It would actually be 7.79 with a line on top of 79.(the repeating symbol)
