You can either make a table using any numbers you would like (I would suggest -5 to 5) and then graphing the rule
ex. (7/2)(-5)-2 = -19.5 (I multiplied (7/2) by -5 and then subtracted 2)
Or you can put the rule in a graphing calculator and check the points from there
4.29 + 97.2 + 0.687 = 102.177
In adding decimal numbers, make sure that the decimal points are aligned. Since each number has different counts of numbers after the decimal point, use 0 to pad the missing places.
4.290
97.200
<u> 0.687
</u> 102.177
The count of numbers after the decimal point is the same count of number of the decimal who has the greatest count of number after the decimal point.
4.29 only has 2 counts of places after the decimal point
97.2 only has 1 count of place after the decimal point
0.687 has 3 counts of places after the decimal point.
The sum of the decimals must also have 3 counts of places after the decimal point.
Mel purchased 5 shirts and Joe purchased 2 shirts.
It can be the last one, 827 over 1120
Hope that helps
