OpenStudy (susanna):

\[\frac{ 1 }{16}*\frac{ 1 }{ 4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16/4?

OpenStudy (susanna):

no, multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1/64?

OpenStudy (susanna):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 64 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I put just not in the equation slot ._

OpenStudy (susanna):

round to the nearest thousandth. 0.016

OpenStudy (susanna):

\[1\div64=0.015625\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait did we actually divide 1 by 64?

OpenStudy (susanna):

a fraction is a division problem, but people just don't want long decimals to deal with, so they simplify fractions and leave it at that. In this problem I saw you needed a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth, so I divided 1 by 64 and rounded the answer to the nearest thousandth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh okay. So 0.016 s my final answer? ^^

OpenStudy (susanna):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it said incorrect..

OpenStudy (susanna):

That's weird... I'm sure it was the right answer.

OpenStudy (susanna):

did it give you the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure. My school can be really finicky; and no it didn't, it honestly could be sayin I'm wrong bc I put 0.016 and it wanted .016

OpenStudy (susanna):

oh
