ABSTRACT
Next, multiply by 3 to get the price of a full liter. 3($.945)=$2.84. But multiplying by
and then multiplying by 3 is the same as multiplying by 2. If each step were exactly 1 meter in length, it would take 10 steps to cover a distance
of 10 meters. Because each step measures less than 1 meter, it will take more than 10 steps to cover a distance of 10 meters. We can reinterpret the questions in this way: Each step measures .75 m. How many of these steps can we measure out of a distance of 10 m?
