Story Problem
Lily had 3 dollars. Lily decides to buy a can of soda for one quarter of 3 dollars.
But the question is, how much did she spend?
Explanation:
- To solve this problem, we must first find the value of one quarter, which in decimal, is 0.25
- Next, find how many quarters are in 3 that can make one quarter.
- For this situation, all you must do is multiply 3 by 0.25, and you get 0.75, which is 3/4. The equation looks like the one below.
- With that information, the problem is solved. In this story problem, Lily must pay 0.75 cents for that can of soda.
