For Math yesterday I did word problems. Now I have to make a blog post on one equation I did.
I chose to do this one:
Room 1 raised a total $63.12. They want to divide it equally between four charities. How much will they give to each charity?
So I started with 60 and divided it by 4. 60 divided by 4 = 15. Because 4 lots of 15 make 60.
Then I got the 3. I did 75+75=1.50 Then I did 1.50 + 1.50 to get 3.00.
So then you have 15 dollars and 75 cents. But now we do the 12 cents. First do 12 divided by 4 which equals 3. So plus 3 cents to the 75 to get 78 cents and then the answer is $15.78.
Do you know an easier way?
