Answer 9

When entering answers, enter ONLY numbers, no dollar sign, no commas, no units. For example, if the answer to a question is THREE THOUSAND STUDENTS, enter 3000. DO NOT enter 3,000 students or even 3,000. If the answer to a question is 24 thousand dollars, enter 24000. DO NOT enter $24,000, or $24000. If it is a multiple choice question, simply enter A, B, C etc.

Answer 14

the instructions say
**When entering answers, enter ONLY numbers, no dollar sign, no commas, no units. **

but you say **yea i put feet ***

if you did, it would not like the answer. It (apparently) only wants
7.5
