I'm doing macro and the thing says 2.1/1. = 1.2...

How is that possible since 2.1/1 = 2.1. Help please.

Answer 2

it's most likely a mistake because, yes, that is not true: \({2.1\over1}=2.1~\checkmark\)

Answer 3

the only way this could be true:\[{2.1\over\color {red}{1.75}}=1.2\]

Answer 4

This could make more sense since they could have just done 1 even though it was 1.75; thanks!

Answer 5

no problem
