Q. Mia tried to solve an equation step by step.\newline0.1t3=5 0.1 t-3=5 \newline0.1t=2 0.1 t=2 \quad Step 11\newlinet=20 Step 2 t=20 \quad \text { Step } 2 \newlineFind Mia's mistake.\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Step 11\newline(B) Step 22\newline(C) Mia did not make a mistake.
  1. Start with equation: Mia starts with the equation 0.1t3=50.1t - 3 = 5. To isolate the variable tt, she adds 33 to both sides of the equation. 0.1t3+3=5+30.1t - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3 0.1t=80.1t = 8 This is the correct step to isolate the variable tt.
  2. Isolate variable tt: In Step 22, Mia writes t=20t = 20. To find the value of tt, she should divide both sides of the equation by 0.10.1. 0.1t0.1=80.1\frac{0.1t}{0.1} = \frac{8}{0.1} t=80t = 80 Mia's mistake is in Step 22, where she incorrectly divided 88 by 0.10.1, resulting in 2020 instead of the correct value, 8080.
