Question 1:
Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 divided by 2 . She claims the answer is 3.85 . Do you agree ? Explain why or why not .

Answer:
I do not agree with Annie because she didn't follow BEDMAS.

Question 2:
Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible . What problem solving strategy did you use ?

Answer:
I did 6.4 divided by 4 = 1.6. Then i did 3x 2.8 = 8.4. And then i did 8.4 + 1.6= 10.

Question 3:
Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression:
2.5 + 1.25 +5 x 1.6

Answer:
Billy's mom had to given him $1.25 dollars for cleaning his room And his sister had to own him $2.50 for walking the dog. And his friend had to give him $1.60 dollars for 5 days because Billy bought him lunch everyday. And all of his money equals to $11.75.
