OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know how to subtract?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then subtract 709.7 from 1000 and tell me what you got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1.409046076

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but anser is the exact difference is

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You divided the numbers. The directions say to SUBTRACT the two numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im very confused

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1000-709.7=290.3 I thought you said you know how to subtract.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first i have to write 290.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and finally answer is?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So the exact answer is 290.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but did you saw my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a)the exact difference is b) the estimated difference is

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then it said to round each number to the nearest hundred and estimate the answer. 1000 is already rounded but 290.3 is almost 300. 1000-300 is 700. So the exact answer we got is reasonable since it is near the estimate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

z)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you relly dont understand me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please read my question again

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well what do you mean by typing b) ? And how would anybody know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ubtract the two numbers, then estimate to see if the answer is reasonable. 1000/-709.7 the exact difference is ____ Now estimate to see if the answer is reasonable by rounding each number to the nearest hunderd the estimate difference is

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The exact difference is 290.3 The estimated difference is 300

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now...what does b) have to do with that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i sad b) the estimated difference

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well for heavens sake. I had already answered that once. Did you even read what I wrote?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i saw

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Mertsj 0 Then it said to round each number to the nearest hundred and estimate the answer. 1000 is already rounded but 290.3 is almost 300. 1000-300 is 700. So the exact answer we got is reasonable since it is near the estimate.
