What is a “Run-On Statement?”

What is a “Run-On Statement?”. What is a run-on statement?. If we were to find the average of two numbers, 24 and 26, we would find the sum of 24 and 26 and then divide the sum by 2. If we set this up as follows, can you see anything wrong with this? 24 + 26 = 50. ______ 2.

  1. What is a “Run-On Statement?”

  2. What is a run-on statement? If we were to find the average of two numbers, 24 and 26, we would find the sum of 24 and 26 and then divide the sum by 2. If we set this up as follows, can you see anything wrong with this? 24 + 26 = 50 ______ 2 = 25 24 + 26 is equal to 50 but is not equal to 50/2.

  3. Be careful of writing run-on statements when you determine empirical formulas in this manner: What is wrong with the setup shown above?

  4. How to avoid run-on statements When I first introduced the method of determining empirical formulas, I specified that it would be wise to set up with vertical columns thus: This setup does NOT contain “run-on” statements.
