7.5d = 2.5d Lin divided each side by 2.5d and Elena subtracted 2.5d from each side with both leads to the solution

Elena's move will lead to the solution of the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 7.5d=2.5d, Lin divides each side by 2.5d, and Elena subtracts 2.5d from each side. Will both moves lead to the solution? Explain your reasoning

Given:

7.5d = 2.5d

Lin divides each side by 2.5d, Lin:

7.5d / 2.5d = 2.5d / 2.5d

3 = 1

This can not be the solution to the problem because 3 can not be Equal to 1

Elena subtracts 2.5d from each side

7.5d = 2.5d

7.5d - 2.5d = 2.5d - 2.5d

5d = 0

This can lead to the solution of the problem

Elena's move will lead to the solution of the problem

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
