Dez was called to solve a problem on the whiteboard in class. His work is shown below.
0.8 × Four-fifths
8/10 × 4/5 = 32/5
StartFraction 32 over 5 EndFraction = 6Two-fifths
Is the answer shown reasonable?
(A) The answer is reasonable because 0.8 was converted to an equivalent fraction.
(B) The answer is reasonable because it is greater than both factors.
(C) The answer is not reasonable because 4/5 of a number should be less than the number.
(D)The answer is not reasonable because StartFraction 32 over 5 EndFraction does not equal 6Two-fifths.
