Is there a step you are stuck on? OR are you just confused overall?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 / 11 is approximately 0.18 7/9 is approximately 0.78 So we have: 1.78 - 6.18 Do we round 1.78 up or down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

overall. uhh..up? @iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, because 7 is greater than 5. So 1.78 becomes 2. 6.18 Do we round up or down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the number after the decimal point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it is 4 or less, we round down, if it is 5 or more we round up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then its down? uh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, the number is 1. And it is less than 4, so we round down to 6. So we have: 2 - 6 I'm sure ou can subtract that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, check again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(Hint: It will be negative) \(6 - 2 = 4\) \(2 - 6 \ne 4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what's 2 - 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
