Strategies[]
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges with the standard algorithm. The speed badges are medium because the algorithm can be time-consuming.
- A calculator goes against the spirit of the problem but can increase speed.
- The standard algorithm is not very time-efficient so users might need to develop a new method to get speed badges.
- Most of the time the final answer is an integer, but in a few problems users can get a final answer that is a terminating decimal. Research indicates no answers that don't terminate in decimal form.
Real-life Applications[]
- Decimals appear in every-day media to display information to consumers.
