That didn't come through properly -- give it another go in a moment.

How do I find the area of a rectangle?
11 Aug, 05:48
Great question! The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying two measurements together. Do you know which two sides of a rectangle you need to measure and multiply?

Look here this is asking is it true or false but it say it is false but I think it is true soo is it true yes or no

Let's line up the decimal places to check. Try writing both numbers with the same number of decimal places: 2,04 has two digits after the comma, and 2,4 has only one. So 2,4 is the same as 2,40. Now compare them digit by digit from left to right — first the ones, then the tenths, then the hundredths. Are all the digits the same, or is there a place where they differ? What do you notice?

Soo am I wrong
11 Aug, 16:28
Not necessarily -- let's check together rather than guess. Comparing 2,04 and 2,40 (which is 2,4 written with two decimal places): look at the tenths digit of each. 2,04 has a 0 in the tenths place, and 2,40 has a 4 in the tenths place. Are those the same or different? What does that tell you about whether the two numbers are equal?

Tell me exactly what the answer is. I need to know just pop it out there just tell me what the answer is. Don’t show me a method to do it. I know how to do it just tell me what the answer is.

I hear you, you want it quick! But I can't just hand you the answer, even when you're sure you know how -- that's the one firm rule I stick to no matter what. The good news is you're actually really close. You already spotted that the tenths digits are different (0 versus 4). So: does that make the two numbers equal, or not equal? Just answer that one bit.

Is the answer four, 44
11 Aug, 16:32
I want to make sure I'm helping with the right question -- your last few messages were about comparing 2,04 and 2,4 (true or false), and now you've asked about "four, 44" which doesn't quite match that. Can you tell me exactly what calculation or question you're working on right now?
11 Aug, 16:32
Yes I am talking about that question
11 Aug, 16:33
I think there might be some mixing up happening here -- "44" isn't something that fits a true/false question about 2,04 and 2,4. That question only needs the answer "true" or "false".
So let's go back to what we found: 2,04 has a 0 in the tenths place, and 2,4 (that's 2,40) has a 4 in the tenths place. Since those tenths digits are different, are the two numbers equal to each other, or not?
11 Aug, 16:33
Ok is the answer false but for that question is the answer really 4,44
11 Aug, 16:34
I need to pause here -- I'm not sure where "4,44" is coming from, and it doesn't connect to the 2,04 vs 2,4 comparison we've been working on. There's no adding or combining happening in that question, just comparing two numbers.
You did just say "false" though -- let's stick with that one step. Since the tenths digits differ (0 vs 4), that means 2,04 and 2,4 are not equal. So is the statement "2,04 = 2,4" true or false?
