Question

Please help me with this answer and what that symbol means (The symbol that looks like an equal sign with a forward slash)

Answer 1

You have that:

`1.016/4.064\\e0.025`

By definition, the following symbol means "Not equal to":

`\\e`

Then, you can identify that the Decimal number 1.016 divided by the Decimal number 4.064, is "Not equal to" 0.025 .

Now, in order to determine that Division indicated in the exercise is not equal to 0.025, you can set up the following:

`\begin{gathered} 1.016\approx1 \\ 4.064\approx4 \end{gathered}`

Remember that this symbol means "Approximately equal to".

Then, knowing that approximation of each Decimal number, you can set up:

`1/4`

By definition, a Division can be written as a fraction. Then:

`(1)/(4)`

You know that:

`(1)/(4)=0.25`

Then:

`1/4\\e0.025`

That means that:

`1.016/4.064\\e0.025`

The answer is:

• You know that the result of the Division is not equal to 0.025 by rounding the Decimal numbers 1.016 and 4.064 to the nearest Whole number. Since:

`(1)/(4)=0.25`

You can conclude that:

`1.016/4.064\\e0.025`

• This symbol means "Not equal to":

`\\e`
