Answer 1

Hello Peyton,

 

First, take all the information and organize everyone's numbers:

 

Justin's number = 4 * 0.06

 

Parentheses and brackets help us do math operations in the right order.

 

Hayden's number = [(4 * 0.06) 4] - 0.04 

 

Notice how Hayden's number depends on finding Justin's number. Do the operation in parentheses first so you can get Justin's number.

 

0.06

x   4

0.24

 

Note: you really don't need the 0 to the left of the decimal point, except as a place holder.

 

Now Hayden's number = [(0.24) 4] - 0.04 

 

Now do the operation in brackets; Multiply 0.24 by 4

 

0.24

x   4

 

 

Then take whatever answer you get and subtract 0.04 from it. This will give you Hayden's number.

 

Hope this was helpful. :) Have a nice day.
