Use the hundredth grids below to answer the questions. The first two hundredth grids show Sophia's work. The second two hundredt
h grids show Aiden's work. This image shows Sophia's work. One whole 10-by-10 grid and 2 columns and 5 squares on a second grid are shaded blue. On the second grid, the remaining 5 squares in the third column, 3 more columns, and 5 more squares are shaded brown.

Part A
Which student correctly models the problem 1.25 + 0.4. Type your answer in the box.
Part B
What is the correct answer for 1.25 + 0.4?
Part C
Explain the errors made by the incorrect student. Refer back to the models and use equations to support your explanation.
<span>When a = 3 and b ≠ 5, the system will be inconsistent because the lines will be parallel. When a = 3 and b = 5, the system will be consistent and dependent because they represent the same line.</span>
