going with a different question.

kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy as opposed to power.

the orange ring) to r, as shown in the picture below. This has been corrected
in newer printings.
Page
CA-123: Activity 6N part 2, change the wording as follows:
Rewrite
6/20 Ö 3/4 = ?/? as
?/?*3/4=6/20 to help you explain why you can divide fractions by dividing the
numerators and dividing the denominators, as in
6/20 Ö
3/4 = (6 Ö 3)/(20 Ö 4) = 2/5

CA-374: #1, change ÒboxÓ to ÒbagÓ.
