Please click on the images to see a larger version.One of these things is not like the other. Both were answers on a recent HW sheet, and both have similarities. However, only one really answers the question asked. I think that you will be able to tell which is which!
When I see a student answer a word problem with only a number, I often remind students that teachers and test graders are among the least intelligent life forms on the planet. Are we talking 21 9/25 tons of elephant poo? 21 9/25 pounds of cheese? Is 21 9/25 even a legitimate answer to the question that was asked? Without a sentence, I simply do not know.

I'm getting the same sort of response to "What genre of music are the songs, "Tideo" and "Alabama Gal?" Answer: Folk.
I can infer that they meant "folk songs" because of the way the question was presented, but a good number of answers are coming back "folk tales."
I say old chap, "Isn't that KK's domain?"
