Both DCs Yr7 and YR9 sometimes get homework on My Maths
Why when it asks for the answers rounded to 1 decimal place does it always round down?
ie DD had a question to work out the surface area of a tube the answer the decimal part of the answer was *.197 (can't remember the bit) so DD rounded it up to .2. My Maths marked it wrong and said the answer was **.1
Both DH and I feel the answer should be .2.
The question definitely says round to 1 decimal place, not round down to 1 decimal place.
