What Actually Gets Typed

You'll learnto enter an answer in a form the grid-in field accepts, character by character.

A right answer still scores zero if it is entered in the wrong form. Grid-ins take no mixed numbers and no symbols, and a repeating decimal must fill the field. The fix is a ten-second entry check before you commit.

what gets typed

Before you start

What you're looking at

A four-slot grid-in field showing the value 2.75 typed in, beside a card of three entry checks.

The question

Will the field read what you typed as the number you actually mean?

Watch for

Watch a clean entry: 2.75 straight in, where a mixed number would need converting first.

What the symbols mean

The four boxes are the answer field; 2.75 is a clean entry; the card lists the three checks.
