BlankSpace:

Sorry, I am having difficulties understanding the question. I came up with 10.2, but thats now one of the choices (are they negative numbers?)

BlankSpace:

not*

BlankSpace:

Are those numbers negative?

EndersWorld:

Nope.

BlankSpace:

BlankSpace:

Mkay, brb

EndersWorld:

Sorry... they are positive...

BlankSpace:

It's 14.11 I believe, let me check on that quickly

BlankSpace:

Because 12 divided by 0.85 equals 14.1176470588 (thats why i think that's the answer)

EndersWorld:

I’ll go with it.

BlankSpace:

Sorry I didn't really know how to do this one

BlankSpace:

But that seems like the best answer
