Answer accounting questions

The accounting player is used for all online accounting courses, such as MyLab Accounting.

You can enter answers in one of the following ways:

  • Typing your answer in an empty box. For example:

    Example of a text box with a value entered inside

    If your answer requires math symbols (for example, fractions), you can use the math palette to enter special mathematical formats and symbols (for example, fractions and square roots). It contains templates that help you insert your answers. In most courses, the math palette appears when you click inside the answer box:

    For example, if you want to insert the mixed fraction 2 1/3 into your answer, you would click this template:

    In the template in your answer, you would enter 2 in the box on the left, 1 in the top box on the right, and 3 in the bottom box on the right:

    Mixed fraction 2 1/3

  • Clicking Fill in to select the answer from a menu:

    In many cases, the "Fill in" instruction does not appear, but you can still click the box to choose the answer from a menu.
