OpenStudy (anonymous):

do not do 16/7, do 7/16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 divided by 7 is what you got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then its .4375?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, 7/16 is not whole number, it is a fraction, so it could not be any decimal higher than the number 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yes, 0.4375 is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
