where is the question?

#

the image only shows two points

placid horizon
#

Yeah I have to find the mid point

hollow jackal
mossy mantle
#

have you learnt anything about midpoints?

#

oh nvm

placid horizon
#

And I got wrong

#

Look

hollow jackal
#

i am looking

placid horizon

#

I would advise showing your working up front next time so we can check that immediately btw.

placid horizon
#

Okay well I need help to work the whole thing again

mossy mantle
#

right so what is your final midpoint?

placid horizon
#

It's on the paper 3.2/2 and 1.4/2

hollow jackal
#

yes you made a mistake with the y coordinate

placid horizon
#

And the answer has to be two like not one

mossy mantle
#

well have you actually completed the division then?

hollow jackal
#

3.4-2=1.4

mossy mantle
#

the midpoint will be those two coordinates combined

hollow jackal
#

you have written 2.4

mossy mantle
placid horizon
#

Okay one at a time so I can understand

mossy mantle
#

then OP, you pick your helper

placid horizon
#

So basically I have to fix the decision

mossy mantle
#

I'll leave if you ask me to

placid horizon
#

Division

#

I'm sorry

#

Anyone can help

#

Idk

#

I just need help mate

#

Anyways so I have to decide 3.2 by 2

#

Or cna I leave it

mossy mantle
#

divide it ofc

#

do the same to the other one

placid horizon
#

Okay and should I use calcultor

#

Or learn to do division my self

#

BC I'm doing maths method

#

And idk if I should rely on calcultor

mossy mantle
#

up to you. personally I divide numbers like this faster mentally, but this is algebra, not arithmetic, so do whatever you need to for these arithmetic stuff

placid horizon
#

Okie thanks I'll Divide and tell you to check it

mossy mantle
#

sure thing.

placid horizon
#

I'm stuck idk how to decide like this

#

Devide

#

um

placid horizon
#

What

mossy mantle
#

why and how did the 3.2/2 became a 2.4/2? that 3.2/2 was correct and you just need to complete the division

placid horizon
#

Oh Shi I did -1.6 +4.8 and I got 2.4 second time in my brain

#

Okay so 3.2 /2 is 1 and 1.2/2

mossy mantle
#

you can do long division if you find mental calculation hard

placid horizon
#

I don't know how to do it

#

Anyways how do I find 3.4/2

#

And is the 1.4/2 right

#

Or can it be simplified

mossy mantle
#

both numbers can and should be simplified down to one decimal number each.

mossy mantle
#

if you can't divide mentally or by long division, unless you want to go through the trouble of learning it, simply toss it into a calculator for now as much as I hate to say it

placid horizon
#

Ok

#

I got 8/5 and 7/10

#

And the answer should be 1.6 and 0.7

#

So what did I do wrong

mossy mantle
#

well guess what

#

8/5 IS 1.6!

#

and 0.7 is 7/10

hollow jackal
#

Calculators can show you the decimal form asw, iirc

mossy mantle
#

have your calculator show you the decimal form by hitting the S <=> D button (if you have a Casio; otherwise refer to your manual or show your calculator)

placid horizon
#

Where

mossy mantle
#

oh god

hollow jackal
#

thats a new one

mossy mantle
#

what model is this

placid horizon
#

The fx-cp400

#

It's like good for graphing and stuff

#

Okay so

#

Like

mossy mantle
#

overpowered for your current syllabus but anyway

placid horizon
#

I should just learn how to do devision

mossy mantle
#

,calc 3.2 / 2

cobalt otterBOT
#

Result:

1.6
mossy mantle
#

,calc 1.4 / 2

cobalt otterBOT
#

Result:

0.7

I'm not sure but I assume you can open up the Standard menu which should then show you an option to choose decimal

mossy mantle
#

you should look up your user's manual for more instructions on how to convert between exact/fractional form and decimal form

#

I tried to dl the manual earlier but heavens know what is wrong with Casio's servers atm

placid horizon
#

How old are you guys

mossy mantle
#

I just qualified for this server yesterday so I'll let you take a guess

#

well actually today

placid horizon
#

So are you 16

mossy mantle
#

anyway, anything else?

#

no lol

placid horizon
#

I have more questions but I'll work them and If I need help I'll put picture here

#

Your 18

mossy mantle
#

again no

placid horizon
#

Up or down

#

I mean lower or higher

mossy mantle
placid horizon
#

YORU 14

#

14

#

13

#

That's crazy your so smart

hollow jackal
mossy mantle
#

how am I smart

placid horizon
mossy mantle
#

I literally just helped with a midpoint problem

placid horizon
#

I'm turning 17 and this is what we're learning

#

That's so embarrassing

placid horizon
hollow jackal
placid horizon
#

LMAO

#

Your right

mossy mantle
#

also, I'm not a bro, just in case you meet some of the more gender-strict people on the server

placid horizon
#

Okay well your knowledge is acceptable if that's what you will accept

placid horizon
#

Sister but I say it to my friends

mossy mantle
#

sure but still just in case

#

wait so are you done with this problem, or are you still using this thread for related problems? if you are you may want to retitle your thread so new helpers can immediately understand what you're doing at a glance instead of having to read this entire text wall for context.

placid horizon
#

Okay I'll just delete

mossy mantle
#

don't delete

#

just mark it as solved if you're done

#

never delete the first message of a thread because that is additional context for people scrolling by as well

placid horizon
#

Okay it's solved I want to close

mossy mantle
#

type .close

placid horizon
#

.close
