Re: [Phptest-users] correct answer?

[Kathleen A . Ferraro]

Donald,

I don't have any similar questions to test this on, but if this were my site, I would want to look at how the greater than sign was being represented; i.e., with the > symbol or the html entity > and then at how phptest was making the comparison.

Best,

Kathie

When the student selects this answer they are informed that they did not get the right answer that the correct answer is (x>-5). Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there a fix for it. Seems I am having problems with similar math problems.
