No (unless you're talking about a whole number), for example...
0.2^2 = 0.04
Answer: 336 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation: what is it even asking?
Most of these problems are the commutative property:
Addition
a + b = b + a
Multiplication
a * b = b * a
and the associative property:
Addition
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
Multiplication
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
There's also the Identity property:
Addition \ Subtraction:
a + 0 = a \ a - 0 = a
Multiplication \ Division:
a * 1 = a \ a / 1 = a
Answer:
It helps because it gets you thinking. Personally, it would motivate me because that process itself is very helpful. Brainstorm will get you your idea, you can decide if you want to do it or not, then you work on it, and because you have the right attitude towards whatever you are working on, you'll enjoy it!
