as the product. Who calculated the correct answer?
A.
Neither Jenna nor Jason calculated the correct answer.
B.
Jenna calculated the only correct answer.
C.
Jason calculated the only correct answer.
D.
Both Jenna and Jason calculated the correct answer.
To determine who calculated the correct answer, we need to calculate the product of 32 and 514 and compare it with the answers given by Jenna and Jason.
To calculate the product of 32 and 514, you simply multiply the two numbers together.
32 × 514 = 16,448
Now let's compare the calculated product to the answers given by Jenna and Jason.
Jenna's answer: 23112
Jason's answer: 774
Comparing Jenna's answer to the calculated product, we can see that they do not match.
Comparing Jason's answer to the calculated product, we can see that they do not match either.
Therefore, the correct answer is Neither Jenna nor Jason calculated the correct answer. Option A is correct.
