B. There's a mistake with the multiplicative inverse 2/7 .
C. The problem looks correct.
D. There's a problem with changing the mixed number to an improper fraction, as well as changing the division problem to multiplication.

Respuesta :

A) the only mistake is changing the mixed number to an improper fraction . 

Answer:

D. There's a problem with changing the mixed number to an improper fraction, as well as changing the division problem to multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have shown work of a student to solve a division of fractions. We are asked to check student's work.

Let us check

[tex]2\frac{6}{7}\div\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction:

[tex]2\frac{6}{7}\Rightarrow \frac{2\times 7+6}{7}=\frac{14+6}{7}=\frac{20}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{20}{7}\div\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Convert division problem to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

[tex]\frac{20}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{20}{1}\times\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

[tex]10[/tex]

Therefore, the student made two mistakes and option D is the correct choice.
