http://prntscr.com/606fpv http://prntscr.com/606jzn are these two right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First one is wrong. 5 3/4 does not equal 5.3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2nd one is also wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you divide 3 / 4? @bohotness

OpenStudy (bohotness):

yes I think

OpenStudy (bohotness):

3/4 no you can divide |dw:1422893709665:dw| @iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug it in your calculator.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

I got .75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's correct. So 5 3/4 is 5.75.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That takes care of #1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the 2nd one, we want a value that is equally between 6 and 5.75. That takes out Option A, because 5.625 is smaller than 5.75. So we can subtract the options. What's 6 - 5.8?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

.2

OpenStudy (bohotness):

@iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and what's 5.8 - 5.75?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bohotness

OpenStudy (bohotness):

.05

OpenStudy (bohotness):

@iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and since 0.20 and 0.05 are different, 5.8 is incorrect. Let's try 5.875. 6 - 5.875 = ?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

.12

OpenStudy (bohotness):

I mean . 125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, now what's 5.875 - 5.75?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

that's .125

OpenStudy (bohotness):

so its d ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you got it.
