The answer is C, you can do this by doing FOIL
PART 1:
Jeremy gives the correct answer.
The value of 0.41 [with a bar over the digit 4 and 1] shows that the digit 4 and 1 are reoccurring = 0.414141414141414141....
Jenny's assumption of 41/100 will give a decimal equivalency of 0.41 [without a bar over digit 4 and 1]. This value is not a reoccurring decimal value.
PART 2:
The long division method is shown in the picture below
PART 3:
As mentioned in PART 1, the result of converting 41/100 into a decimal is 0.41 [non-reoccuring decimal] while converting 41/99 into a decimal is 0.41414141... [re-occuring decimal]. The conjecture in PART 1 is correct
M + t = 26
m = t - 6
t - 6 + t = 26
2t - 6 = 26
2t = 26 + 6
2t = 32
t = 32/2
t = 16 <== Trevor has 16
m = t - 6
m = 16 - 6
m = 10...and Marissa has 10
I’m pretty sure the answer is -237, -236, -235, and -234. Because -234 would be the greatest of that consecutive set.
just do what it said and you'll get the answer
