Dante made an error in Step 2. He didn't include the subtraction sign which affected his final answer in step 3.

The correct answer is therefore: -106.8.

  • Given:

-17.8 [tex]\div[/tex] 1 over 6

  • The first step is to change the division sign and state the multiplicative inverse of "1 over 6".

Thus:

  • Step 1:

[tex]-17.8 \div \frac{1}{6} \\\\[/tex] n  (1 over 6 = 1/6)

  • Step 2 (this is where he made an error):

[tex]-17.8 \times \frac{6}{1} \\\\[/tex] (multiplicative inverse of 1/6 = 6/1)

  • Step 3:

[tex]=\frac{-17.8 \times 6}{1} \\\\=-106.8[/tex] (the correct answer)

Therefore, Dante made an error in Step 2 because he didn't include the subtraction sign.

The correct answer is therefore: -106.8.
