Hello! I just tried to post this a minute ago, but I don't see it. Hopefully this is not a duplicate question.
On problem 4, subsections a-d, there are spaces separating each digit for the student to decide where the decimal point would go.
Do I use the numeric space (dot 5) according to Rule 6.6 of the Rules of UEB, or should I use spaces followed by the numeric indicator and the digits?
Thank you.
Susan
Susan,
Thank you for your question! I appreciate your citing a section of Rules of UEB 💖🧠💖
I see that the directions in the example you shared say, "Write the decimal point in each product so that the equation is correct."
Thus, I am comfortable saying the spaces in the situation you shared are, as part of RUEB §6.6 says, "a separator in a single number."
And so it would make great sense to use the numeric space.
Consequently, item b from your example might look as follows:
braille: #j4ec"8#e "7 #b"f"e
print: b. 0.53×5 = 2 6 5
Braille on!
