Question

evaluate the expression for j = 7.9, k = 3.6, and m = 6.7. write your answer as a decimal or whole number. jk - m = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate \( jk \)

Substitute \( j = 7.9 \) and \( k = 3.6 \) into \( jk \). So \( jk=7.9\times3.6 \). Calculate \( 7.9\times3.6 = 28.44 \).

Step2: Subtract \( m \) from \( jk \)

Now substitute \( m = 6.7 \) into \( jk - m \). So \( 28.44-6.7 = 21.74 \).

Answer:

\( 21.74 \)
