What's the Error?
Question 13
(request help)
Melinda has a block of clay that weighs 14.4 ounces. She divides the clay into 6 equal pieces. To find the weight w in ounces of each piece, Melinda solved the equation 6w = 14.4.
Look at how Melinda solved the equation. Find her error.
\(\begin{align} 6\text{w} &= 14.4 \\ \frac{6\text{w}}{6} &= 6\times14.4 \\ \text{w} &= 86.4 \\ \end{align} \)
Correct the error. Solve the equation, and explain your steps.
