Question

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

Answer 1

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
`(25cents)/(1quarter)`:

`2quarters*(25cents)/(1quarter)=50cents`
We also know that 1 dime=10 cents, so we are going to multiply our dime by the multiplier
`(10cents)/(1dime)`:

`1dime*(10cents)/(1dime)=10cents`

Next, we are going to add the two amounts in cents:

`Total.Amount=50cents+10cents=60cents`

Finally, we are going to divide the total amount by the number of people (3):

`(60cents)/(3) =20cents`

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