Read the following excerpt from "Once More to the Lake" by E. B. White. I took my son, who had never had fresh water [from a lak

e] up his nose and who had seen lily pads only from the train windows. On the journey over to the lake I began to wonder what it would be like. I wondered how time would have marred [damaged] this unique, this holy spot--the coves and streams, the hills that the sun set behind, the camps and the paths behind the camps. I was sure that the tarred road would have found it out, and I wondered in what other ways it would be desolated. It is strange how much you can remember about places like that once you allow your mind to return into the grooves that lead back. You remember one thing, and that suddenly reminds you of another thing. I guess I remembered clearest of all the early mornings, when the lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of the lumber it was made of and of the wet woods whose scent entered through the screen. Based on this excerpt, what is White’s purpose in writing this essay?
to reflect on an important experience in his life that he hopes to pass on to his children
to persuade the reader to travel to the secluded wilderness to experience life
to discuss the infallibility of memory to recall facts correctly from the past
to convince the reader that all memories are interconnected in the mind
to emphasize how different the experience of swimming in a lake is from a pool

vovikov84 [41]
So basically writing it as a fraction in 5 over 8 practically means 5 divided by 8. so then 0.625 actually IS ALREADY the decimal
