Modern calculators can switch modes between decimal and fractions. It’s pretty irrelevant.
Also, someone may do the problem themselves using any number of means that involve decimals. Or maybe they simply prefer to write in decimal. Either way, the program is simply wrong.
Without seeing the question…
It’s perfectly normal to require the answer to be given in fractions instead of decimals if the question is given in fractions.
what is normal about that stupid requirement?
i played those stupid games and got my As but fuck do i not miss those online grade math sites
That’s absolutely stupid if you’re talking about a number that can be represented exactly in both notations.
Calculators can make decimal easy and fractions hard when doing it yourself fractions are much easier it’s an anti-cheat of sorts
Unless the course or assignment is specifically about fractions.
At least I was thought to use the same format for results as the assignment.
Only if that requirement is explicitly stated in the question.
