[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter has probably done MANY practice problems like the one you shared and should know to go to the most exact answer. I understand where you are coming from, but she can complete 4.5 pots, not just 4. In my class today (compacted 5/6), one question asked if a child earns $5.50 per hour babysitting, how many hours would it take to earn $52.25. One of the children answered 10 hours with the same reasoning you gave above, so we discussed why that was not the most accurate response. Like it or not, this is what is now expected from the children.[/quote] I'd agree except for the way the word "complete" was used in the problem. In your example, if the question was, "Larla is paid $5.50 for each completed hour of babysitting. How many hours would it take to earn $52.25?" I'd answer 10. [/quote]
