Answer:
1) He should have found the average of the number of rock songs by averaging 4 and 6 to get 5.
2) He did not multiply the numerator and denominator by the correct number to equal 1,500.
5) He should have multiplied the numerator and denominator by 75, not 30, because 20 x 75 = 1,500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Josiah's mistake is (b) He did not multiply the numerator and denominator by the correct number to equal 1,500
The proportion is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{10}{20} = \frac{x}{1500}}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 1500
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{10}{20} \times 1500= \frac{x}{1500} \times 1500}[/tex]
Evaluate the expression on the right-hand side
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{10}{20} \times 1500= x}[/tex]
Multiply 10 by 1500 on the left-hand side
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{15000}{20}= x}[/tex]
Divide 15000 by 20 on the left-hand side
[tex]\mathbf{750= x}[/tex]
Rewrite the equation as:
[tex]\mathbf{x = 750}[/tex]
From the question, we can see that the products are not well carried out.
Hence, Josiah's mistake is (b)
