Answers for 3 Questions

1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 / 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

I don't agree because first you have to divide 6 into 2 which makes 3. Then you have to add 3 to 1.7 which makes 4.7.

2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What problem strategy did you use? 3 x 2.8 + 6.4 / 4

I used: (3 x 2.8) + (6.4 / 4) = 10

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression:
2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6

(2.5 + 1.25) + (5 x 1.6) = 11.75
