β€œTo find 623, I can just take the value of 613 then either multiply it by 12 or divide it by 2.” Do you agree with her? Explain why or why not.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

613 and 623 are very close values.

multiplying by 12 or a division by 2 changes the starting value drastically.

so, this cannot be right.

and dividing 613 by 2 also makes it even smaller. but to get 623 we need to make it bigger.

so, therefore, even without actually calculating the numbers, the statement is proven false.
