Answer 4

I'm not good with world questions, I don't even know how to arrange the problem to do it. Even if you can explain that too me that would be great!

Answer 5

So I did 4.30 x 26.1, but I ended up with 112. 23

Answer 6

Where did the 26.1 come from?

Answer 7

Because, well I was fooling around with the calculator. I forget how I ended up there, but I did 4.30 x 26 and it equaled 111.8
So then I decided to do 26.1

Answer 8

Can you like explain it in steps? I don't quite understand.

Answer 9

You see I was fooling around with the calculator and did
112 / 4.30 ( = 26. 04651162790698 )

So then I decided to do 4.30 x 26
that added up to 111. 8, which is close to 112,

so I decided to do 4.30 x 26.1

Answer 10

So then what is the answer?

Answer 11
