To accurately identify the student's error, more context is needed regarding the situation or problem the student was working on. However, based on the provided options, the potential errors could stem from using incorrect ratios or multiplying by incorrect numbers.

  1. Using the ratio of 1:4,000 instead of 2:4,000 suggests a mix-up in how the quantities were being compared.
  2. Multiplying by 10 instead of 6 indicates a possible calculation error or misunderstanding of what value to use.
  3. Using the ratio of 2:2,000 instead of 1:2,000 also suggests an incorrect ratio choice.
  4. Multiplying by 6 instead of 10 points to another multiplication error.

To determine which error occurred, you’d need to review the original problem to understand whether a ratio or a multiplication factor was incorrectly applied. If you can provide more information about the context or the specific problem, I could help identify the likely error more accurately.
