ReplyDeleteNice job! Make sure you understand what is actually happening when you move the decimal the 2 spaces to the right or left. I understand you guys figured that out while you were calculating, but what operations are you doing?? Why do you do those operations when you change between decimal-percent-fraction?? Be very clear!
ReplyDeletethe decimal-percent-fraction part confused me
