Correct. Though uhh... you said that 0.12/12=1/100 then on the next line you proceeded to work out 3/300 through manipulation? Why? You know that 3/300=1/100 right? :tongue:

Multiply top and bottom by 10 once more. Come on you've done these types of conversions yesterday :P

Oh I'd rather times it by 1000

Exactly. If in doubt just keep multiplying top and bottom by 10 until you have integers on both.

Apologies for the delay, I was dealing with some uni stuff. :smile:

Anyhow, that's correct. If you give me an example of a bounds question I'll be able to help you as I forgot what bounds are like at GCSE level.

Think of bounds like two extreme cases of a particular value; one will be the lowest possible one, and the other will be the highest possible one. All the numbers between the two will make up a range of values that will round to that particular value.

Explanation, bear with me as I can find this difficult to explain in any simpler terms:

Spoiler


The two bounds of the first one would be 1.5cm (lower bound) and 2.5cm (upper bound). So the maximum length would be 2.5cm.

Thank you so much.

Can you do the first question on paper please and how you'd lay it out.

I tried the first question myself.

That's good. No need to show the progression with the increasing 9s though. A simple inequality would suffice.

How do I do Q2?
