Mrs. Beach bought shells at a gift shop. The red shells (r) were $0.75 each, and the white shells (w) were $0.49 each. The total

cost was $4.70 for 8 shells. Later, the clerk forgot how many of each color shell he sold, so he guessed 4 red and 4 white shells. That was 8 shells, but the cost was $4.96. What advice would you give the clerk for his next guess?

Answer: The cost was too high. Since red shells cost more than white shells, the clerk’s next guess should be fewer red shells and more white shells. I would guess 3 red shells and 5 white shells.

3 red shells equals $2.25 and 5 white shells equal 2.45. Add those together and you get $4.70.
So 3 red and 5 white shells would be the next guess.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

zero point three two meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Measurement = 0.32\ meter

Required

How should it be pronounced

From the measurement above, we can see that it contains a decimal point.

Using the rules of decimal point,

The number before the decimal point will be treated as 1 number and will be pronounced as such.

While numbers after the decimal will be treated as individual digits and will be pronounced individually.

Hence, the pronunciation of 0.32 meter is zero point three two meter
