Question 1:
Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6/2.She claims the answers is 3.85.Do you agree?Explain why or why not.
Answer:
Annie only got 3.85 because she didn't use BEDMAS.She did it this way to get her answer.
1.7+6=7.7
7.7/2=3.85
This is the real answer:

6/2=3
1.7+3=4.7

Answer:
I'd put the brackets between in the question like this---->(3x2.8)+6.4/4=
The answer would be 10 whick is the largest value you can get.I used BEDMAS to figure out the answer.
Question 3:

2.5+1.25+5x1.6=
Answer:
Ella is selling paintings for her class fundraiser.one small painting is for $2.5 but if you buy two paintings you can get them for $1.25.Another deal Ella has is that if you buy three you can buy them for $1.6.
