Good afternoon!

I was following the format asked of me (x/y) and thought that this was what the standard answer should look like for arithmetic mean. It turns out that if the answer is a round number (x/y = z) then I should put in z.

I think x/y should still be a valid answer even if it is a round number (z). It's rather frustrating to almost be done with the problem set and be docked to half completion because the computer didn't recognize a technically correct answer.
