Yeah, she should.Shouldn't she do this the honest way and figure it out on her own? I seriously doubt many college degrees are issued anymore without massive amounts of internet help. Got mine in 1987, the old school way.

Test is over, she failed that question. I really think she screwed up the part to get the decimal I posted, but just trying to help her, Statistics class, I took 3 semesters in college, remember 0% of it now. It is just arithmetic. Write it as a fraction of a power of 10, find prime factors for numerator and denominator, cancel as many as you can. |

This is screwed up too, she gets to take the test (and homework) 3 times to get a better grade. This is a local community college, is a college degree really worth anything anymore?

Quoted: The last 2 numbers are 9 and 0 No single number goes into those two numbers evenly. That number over 1 is the answer. ETA the above fraction has been rounded. That was my assumption. Can't come up with a rational divisor for those, and according to Occam, the answer is the easiest. |
