Question

The Nair family has collected 2,400 pennies. The pennies will be divided evenly among the 4 children. How many dollars will each child get? Show your work and explain the answer

Answer 1

Take off the 2 zeros. 24 divided by 4 equals 6. Now add the zeros and convert to dollars. 600 divided by 100 equals 6 dollars. 

Answer 2

You must divide 2400 by 4 to find your answer. If you know 24/4, then it should be easy. 24 divided by 4 is 6, so add those 2 zeros and you should get 600 pennies for each student.
