Kari estimated the quotient of Negative 12 and one-fifth divided by 4 and two-fifths to be –8. Which best describes her error?

D. Kari added the compatible numbers –12 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kari estimated the quotient of Negative 12 and one-fifth divided by 4 and two-fifths to be –8. Which best describes her error?

-12 1/5 ÷ 4 2/5 = -8

A. Kari multiplied the compatible numbers –12 and 4.

-12 * 4 = 48

A. Is not correct

B. Kari found that the quotient of a negative number and a positive number is negative.

Example:

-a/a = -1

The rule is right

C. Kari found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive.

a/-a = -1

The rule is wrong

D. Kari added the compatible numbers –12 and 4.

= -12 + 4

= -8

Therefore, Kari error was that she added the compatible numbers –12 and 4.

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^
