Question

If I have 24 coins and 7 pouches how many coins can go in each pouch

Answer 1

Coins per pouch = 24/7 = approx. 3.43

Answer 2

If you have have 24 coins and 7 pouches, you can put 3.43 coins in each pouch.

Explanation:

To solve this you want to divide the 24 coins into 7 pouches.

x = coins

y = pouches

z = how many coins can go in each pouch:

`x/y = z`

3.42857142857 = z

round to the nearest hundredth:

3.43 = z

If you have have 24 coins and 7 pouches, you can put 3.43 coins in each pouch.
