Answer:

28.75 or 28 3/4

Explanation:

This equation is made for Long Division:

115/4

4 cannot go into 1 evenly.

4 can go into 11, 2 times.

4x2=8

11-8=3

4 can go into 35, 8 times.

35-32=3

Add a zero at the end, then divide 4 into 30.

4 goes into 30, 7 times.

30-28=2

Add another zero, then divide again.

4 goes into 20, 5 times.

20-20=0

So, after you hit an even number you can stop dividing and put in your answer.

28.75
