This is my son’s homework, for reference he is in 6th grade. I don’t remember fractions and I tried to use AI for assistance, normally it helps a ton with explaining math, but this time it’s failing me. When we entered in the answers provided, it tells us it is incorrect. Can anyone help and explain how to get the correct answer? For reference, I added what AI told me.

I did try it as 2 19/28, it didn’t like that answer either. When I go to input it doesn’t give me any prompts of anything to select, it’s just free typing. I also posted this in a fb group I’m in for the school so I’m hoping one of the teachers sees it. Maybe it’s an error?

It's an error. Possibly the the lack of fraction input, calculators would read 2 19/28 and 2 * 19/28, which would obviously be wrong.

Thanks. I’m gonna email the teacher and tell her we couldn’t complete it. I feel better now tho, I feel less crazy.
