OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

@ math student is it 4/5?

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

@mathstudent

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes.

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

yay :D

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The problem is dividing 4 by 5. 4 divided by 5 is the same as \(4 \div 5\) and the same as \( \dfrac{4}{5} \).

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):
