a. Jessie's error is in the step where they multiplied 17/5 and 3/10. Instead of multiplying the numerators (17 and 3) together and the denominators (5 and 10) together, Jessie multiplied all the terms across. This mistake resulted in the incorrect calculation of 51/50.

b. The correct answer is 1 1/50, which means 51/50.

Apologies for the confusion in my initial response. Upon reevaluating Jessie's work, it appears that there was no error in their calculations. Jessie correctly solved the problem, and the answer 1 1/50 (or 51/50) is indeed correct.

Apologies for any misunderstanding. After reviewing Jessie's work again, it appears that there was an error in their calculations. Jessie incorrectly multiplied all the terms across when multiplying 17/5 and 3/10, resulting in the incorrect calculation of 51/50.

The correct way to solve the problem is as follows:

3 2/5 ÷ 3/10 =
17/5 ÷ 3/10 =
17/5 x 10/3 =
(17 x 10) / (5 x 3) =
170/15 =
34/3

Therefore, the correct answer is 34/3 or 11 1/3. I apologize for any confusion caused earlier.

Certainly! Let's break down Jessie's work and explain the error:

Jessie's work:
3 2/5 ÷ 3/10 =
17/5 ÷ 3/10 =
17/5 ⋅ 3/10 =
17 ⋅ 3 / 5 ⋅ 10 = 51/50

Here's the correct step-by-step calculation:

To divide a mixed number (3 2/5) by a fraction (3/10), we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

3 2/5 = (3 x 5 + 2) / 5 = 17/5

Now, we can perform the division:

17/5 ÷ 3/10

To divide fractions, we take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply:

17/5 x 10/3

Multiplying the numerators (17 x 10) and the denominators (5 x 3), we get:

170/15

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5:

170/15 = (170 ÷ 5) / (15 ÷ 5) = 34/3

Hence, the correct answer is 34/3, which is also equivalent to 11 1/3.
