Let's concentrate on the math, please, and not on "no scamming me."
Any number other than zero, if divided by a number between 0 and 1, results in a larger number.
Thus, 3.56 divided by 0.72 results in a number larger than 3.56. Thus, at first glance, 4.94 seems quite reasonable as the answer here.
Could you use long division to find the actual quotient?
You could multiply both 3.56 and 0.72 by 100 to get rid of the decimal points. Then you'd be dividing 72 into 356.
Can you do that on paper?
Can you do that using a calculator?
Is the result equal to 4.94?
You have not shared what result Ranjan got, so it's hard to judge which student got the correct result. Perhaps both did!
Answer:
$24.00 dollars. The problem is confusing, so sorry if this is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3) and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]
This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered
