I don't at all remember what I wrote but I'm sure it was wrong. If I could see the paper I might remember what I wrote =/

also, the question asked you to find the value without specifying how many digits to round it off to, indicating that the answer you'd get would be exact, true?

For the flying fox Question.

I did 12.5/95 = PH/65 ---> to work out PH, and got 8.55m.

What did I do wrong here??
