SOMEONE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHY 1.40 DIDNT WORK ON MY QUESTION 2.1/1.488

My calculator shows that

(2.1)/(1.488) = 1.41129

which is approximate. If you want the result to two decimal places, then it would be 1.41 and not 1.40

Try 1.41 and it should work out, assuming your teacher wants two decimal places.
