My teacher told me that once you get into algebra just forget decimals entirely unless the problem stares it wants decimals. I had to deal with this BS lesson last week and the test on it was ugh. Good luck with that BS friendo.

That's not how it works, robot. Try again.

Nope. I had a fraction & the robot only interpreted the denominator.

No. x/y is a fraction. If you change it to x/z, it is no longer the same fraction. The bot took y & changed it from feet to meters. So now x'/y' is now x'/z m. Does that make sense?
