Answer 1

I dont know how to draw a diagram on this. And don't know the full answer.

Explanation:

18.68

Leave the .68 since there is no decimal in the seven. You can either add or subtract to figure out. I pick the number 17 and count 7 up. Doesn't work then try another number. I add 7 to 18 and get 25. Then I take by my decimal and get 25.68. BY subtracting, leave out the .68. Then subtract.

you get 18 :D. Remember to add back the .68. That's how I do it
