steven and jalil are discussing their results. for the numbers 6, 6, 4, and 1, they are supposed to create a result of 4. Jalil has entered (6+6)/4+1. Steven has entered 6/(6-4)+1. Is either correct? Explain.

1 answer

To determine whether either Steven or Jalil is correct, we need to evaluate their expressions and compare the results:

Jalil: (6 + 6) / 4 + 1 = 12 / 4 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

Steven: 6 / (6 - 4) + 1 = 6 / 2 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

Both Steven and Jalil have obtained the result of 4, making their expressions correct. Therefore, both of them have entered correct expressions to obtain the desired result.
