Lucas and Mitchell were asked to add the numbers 3.54 and 12.09. Lucas stated that he completed the addition problem by using the following method:
First, I broke the numbers apart. I broke 3.54 into 3.00+0.50+0.04 and 12.09 into 12.00+0.09.
Then, I combined 0.04 and 0.09 to get 0.13.
Next, I combined 0.13 and 0.50 to get 0.63.
Then, I combined 3.00+12.00 to get 15.00.
Finally, I added the decimal to get 15.63.
Mitchell stated that he completed the addition problem by using the following method:
First, I added the whole numbers to get 3.00+12.00=15.00.
Next, I added the numbers in the tenths place, 0.50+0.00=0.50.
Then, I added the numbers in the hundredths place, 0.04+0.09=0.013.
I then added 0.50 and 0.013 to get 0.513.
Lastly, I added the decimal to the whole number to get 15.513.
Determine if Lucas and/or Mitchell had a flaw in their method. If they did, correct the flaw(s) so that both the methods used are correct. PLZ ANWSER THE

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
