    Hey at the end of the problem is not 0.20 is ”0.30”

    Thanks for the Teaching..

    Thanks, but I already knew how to do that problem :) I was trying to give him hints, not set up the problem for him. Otherwise, he won’t learn how to do it for himself.

    You are not only a great mathematician you are a great teacher so many math teachers are great at math but horrible at teaching it to you. I really like the visual of the solution containers as opposed to the hard to interpret graph that most teachers use.
