Kylee and two of her friends are at a museum. They find two quarters and a dime on the ground. If Kylee and her friends share the money equally, how much will each person get, explain how you got your answer

Respuesta :

The first thing we are going to do is convert the two quarters and the dime to cents.
We know that 1 quarter=25 cents, so we are going to multiply our two quarters by the multiplier [tex] \frac{25cents}{1quarter} [/tex]:
[tex]2quarters*\frac{25cents}{1quarter}=50cents[/tex]
We also know that 1 dime=10 cents, so we are going to multiply our dime by the multiplier [tex] \frac{10cents}{1dime} [/tex]:
[tex]1dime*\frac{10cents}{1dime}=10cents[/tex]

Next, we are going to add the two amounts in cents:
[tex]Total.Amount=50cents+10cents=60cents[/tex]

Finally, we are going to divide the total amount by the number of people (3):
[tex] \frac{60cents}{3} =20cents[/tex]

We can conclude that If Kylee and her friends share the money equally, each person will receive 20 cents.
