I have to round the answer to something but how'd you get 2.875 Ms.Sue? What does 7/8 equal

3 answers

change 7/8 to a decimal by dividing 8 into 7.000

divide that number into 1.79
oops!

I didn't see the 2 7/8

so after you divide 8 into 7.000, add the 2 to it.
My glass must need to be cleaned.

Multiply your answer after you divide i into 7.000 and add 2 to it by $1.79.

Sorry about the confusion.
