Let's break down each question one at a time.
1. Equivalent Expression to 0.8 x 0.6
The multiplication of decimals can be expressed using fractions or whole numbers:
- \(0.8 = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}\)
- \(0.6 = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}\)
Calculating \(0.8 \times 0.6\): \(0.8 \times 0.6 = \frac{8}{10} \times \frac{6}{10} = \frac{48}{100} = 0.48\)
Now, examining which expression from the choices equals \(0.48\):
- \((8 \times 10) \times (6 \times 10)\) does not simplify correctly,
- \([8 \times \frac{1}{10}] \times [6 \times \frac{1}{100}] = \frac{8 \times 6}{1000} = \frac{48}{1000}\) which is not correct,
- \([8 \times \frac{1}{100}] \times [6 \times \frac{1}{100}] = \frac{48}{10000}\) which is not correct,
- \([8 \times \frac{1}{10}] \times [6 \times \frac{1}{100}] = \frac{48}{1000}\) which is not correct either.
None of the provided expressions appear to be equivalent to \(0.48\). Thus, it seems the equivalence is not represented properly in the choices given.
2. Cost of Carpeting
To find the total cost of carpeting for Chloe's room:
- Cost per square foot = $3.28
- Area of the room = 96 square feet
Total cost = Cost per square foot × Area Total cost = $3.28 × 96 = $314.88
So, the answer is $314.88.
3. Weight of 2.5 Bags of Dog Food
To find the total weight:
- Weight of one bag = 28.25 pounds
Weight of 2.5 bags = 28.25 pounds × 2.5 Weight of 2.5 bags = 70.625 pounds
So, the answer is 70.625 pounds.
4. Total Amount Spent on Lunch
To find the total amount spent by Ethan:
- Monday: $5.25
- Tuesday: $6.48
- Wednesday: $4.95
- Thursday: $7.22
- Friday: $5.96
Total spent = $5.25 + $6.48 + $4.95 + $7.22 + $5.96 Total spent = $29.86.
So, the total amount he spent on his lunches is $29.86.
5. Actual Product Comparison
You didn't provide figures to ascertain whether the actual product is greater or lesser, so I can't analyze that part without the numbers. Please provide the product to compare, and I'll be glad to help!
