Answer: $0.48
Explanation:
$5.79 divided by 12, or 5.79/12 is 0.4825
Round your answer to the nearest penny and you get .48, or $0.48
To check, multiply 0.4825 by 12, and you get 5.79
Multiplying $0.48 (instead of 0.4825) by 12 will get you 5.76 (instead of 5.76), and while this answer is not completely accurate, it is a good way to estimate and show that you are close, or at least on the right track mathematically.
