This response scored a "0" because it is incorrect and shows no application of appropriate rules and operations to the problem.


"1" Response

This response scored a "1" because it shows an understanding of the basic formulas but does apply a correct formula. There is a major error in computation.

 

This response scored a "1" because it includes a correct answer but an incorrect formula, and no explanation for the answer. 


"2" Response
