Olympics Math Challenge 2

L.I To use the most efficient strattagey to find the answer.

For this task we used the most efficient strategy to solve maths questions. The most efficient strategy that was used for this challenge was addition and subtraction. These strategies were used when we needed to find out the answer of how much the Gold medalist scored over Nastia, and used to find our how much points did Nastia scored than the Bronze medalist.

Steps:

For the first question the Gold medal winners score was 16.726 because Nastia scored 16.725 and the gold medalist scored 0.001 more than Nastia. So we added 0.001 and 16.725, that gave us the score of the gold medalists.

To see if our answers were correct we subtracted 16.726 to 0.001 which equalled to 16.725, and added 1.75 to 14.975 which equalled to 16.726.

For the second question Nastia scored over 1.750 than the Bronze medalist because we subtracted the 14.975 (third place winner score) to 16.725 (second place winner score) which equal to 1.750.

To see if the answer was correct, we added 1.750 to 14.975 that equals 16.725.

I enjoyed doing this challenge because it helped me improve my decimal challenge.
