Let's see your work.

Hint: Personally, I'd reduce the fractional part FIRST.

Yes you do.  You ALWAYS have to show work.  How else can I tell if you are learning anything?  The answer is - that is the only way.

Great.  Show your work and I'd be happy to confirm or deny.

Why do you think it is C?

tkhunny · Answer

Okay, have it your way.  I'm just not going to play that game.  If you refuse to show your work, I can't help you.  Mathematics requires PROOF and adequate DEMONSTRATION.  "Guessing" and "thinking" are insufficient.  Good luck.

How do you know it isn't A, B, or D?  Prove it!
