Jackson and Xavier are both solving the multiplication 0.8 x 5. Jackson gets 4 as a solution, and Xavier gets 0.4. Xavier said to Jackson, "Your answer of 4 can't be right for 0.8 x 5. You need a decimal point because a product always has the same number

Jackson

0.8×5=4

Xavier

0.8×5=0.4

If Xavier said to Jackson that his answer of 4 can't be right.

Jackson needs a decimal point because a product always have the same answer.

Then,

Xavier is right with his sayings but wrong with the answer of 0.4

The correct answer is 4.0

The decimal point should be counted from the back not from the front as Xavier did

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
