Ashton is one of Mrs. O'Connor's students. She is working on a math task that requires the use of a formula. She tries one formula and gets the wrong answer. She checks her work and realizes she is using the wrong formula. She tries a different formula and gets the right answer. What type of knowledge does she demonstrate as she decides which formula to use?a. Declarative knowledge
b. Conditional knowledge
c. Procedural knowledge
d. Elaborative knowledge

b) Conditional knowledge

Explanation:

Conditional knowledge is the knowledge that depicts about when to use or when not to use particular procedure, strategies, skills, abilities etc.The reason for using such strategy and procedure is also known.  

According to the question, Ashton is using conditional knowledge as she knows when and why to apply particular formula for math problem as per result obtained from applying formula.

Other options are incorrect because procedural knowledge,elaborative knowledge and declarative knowledge is not used by Ashton for deciding the formula for math problem. Thus, the correct option is option(b).
