Anna calculated the area of parallelogram with a base of 72

5

m and a height of 2 m. Her work is shown here.

A = One-half b h = one-half (7 and two-fifths) (2) = one-half (StartFraction 35 Over 5 EndFraction) (StartFraction 2 Over 1 EndFraction) = StartFraction 70 Over 10 EndFraction = 7 meters squared

    - She converted the mixed number to an improper fraction incorrectly.

    - She converted the mixed number to an improper fraction incorrectly.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area of a parallelogram = Base*height

    Given Base = 7 2/5m

    Height = 2m

    Substituting this values in the formula:

    Area of the parallelogram = 7 2/5 * 2

    Converting the mixed fraction to improper fraction, we have:

    Area = 37/5 * 2/1

    On multiplying

    Area = 74/5

    Area = 14 4/5m²

    Based on the calculation, the following are the errors made by the student

    - She used the incorrect area formula. She used 1/2bh instead of bh

    - She converted the mixed number to an improper fraction incorrectly.

    The improper fraction 7 2/5 was wrongly converted. She converted it to 35/5 instead of 37/5.
