For the quick response questions, I don’t understand that if I put a fraction in like -1/2 or 3/4 it says it is not a valid number.

Hi David,

For the Quick Response questions typically the answers are either integers or if they are fractions the numbers can be put in as decimals. Sometimes questions will have slightly different instructions (like rounding if necessary, etc.) but the default should be that the answers are at least a nice decimal.

If you notice any issues with a specific problem, please let us know! Otherwise hope this helps.
