1/4n-8=1/4 would be first because it says less than so you switch it. then you put the 8 since it's in the same subtraction problem. Then the word "is" indicates the equal sign. and the n represents "a number" since it is unknown.
The number was rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Before it was rounded, it was somewhere between 3.2450 and 3.2549999 .
The answer is 35/64 or 0.546875 in decimal form
first we write all numerators above the least common denominator 64
1+40-6
————
64
next we solve the numerators by doing 1+40-6 to get 35/64
