How does your class define the "brake down of" a number? (I've heard of "breakdowns" of things, but "brakes" are things on your car; I've never before seen this usage, is why I ask.)

How do you "know" that "the answer is 0.35"? (This is only a different form of the number, and I've never heard "convert the fraction to decimal form" expressed as "do the brake down", is why I ask.)

When you reply, please include the full and exact text of the exercise, the complete instructions, and a clear listing of your efforts so far, so we can see where you're getting stuck. (Since you already have loads of worked examples in your book, your class notes, and on the various online lessons you've tried studying, one more worked example obviously won't make any difference now, is why I ask.)

Thank you!
