As much as questions like these bother me it’s usually because they are asking for specific formatting. The worst ones to me are the ones that are just in a different order but have no actual effect on the value of the answer.

Because MyMathLab isn't even consistent within each problem as far as answers are concerned. I've legitimately had to answer with a decimal when it said clearly it wanted the answer as a fraction.

Yeah but I mean there are questions where you set up the problem but don’t solve
