Question

Colton owes $9.16 to each of his 4 friends. Decide how much money he would owe his friends. Write the answer as a mixed number, in simplest form.

Answer 1

$
`36(16)/(25)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Colton owes $9.16 to each of his 4 friends.

To find the total amount of money that Colton owes to his friends we will multiply 9.16 by 4.

`\text{Total amount that Colton owes to his friends}=4* 9.16`

`\text{Total amount that Colton owes to his friends}=36.64`

Now let us convert our amount in mixed number by writing 0.64 as 64/100.

`\text{Total amount that Colton owes to his friends}=36.64=36(64)/(100)`

Now let us simplify our fraction by cancelling out the GCF that is 4.

`\text{Total amount that Colton owes to his friends}=36(64)/(100)=36(16)/(25)`

Therefore, Colton owes his friends $
`36(16)/(25)`.
