→ Divide both sides by 3
1 : 5.19
Answer:
In general, 5 and 3 quarters would be 5.75 :)
Remember, there are 4 quarters in $1.00
8.7/2=q/4
multiply both sides by 4: q=8.7/2*4
multiply both sides by 2: 2q=8.7 times 4
refine the equation: 2q=34.8
multiply both sides by 10: 20q=348
Divide both sides by 20: 20q/20=348/20
refine the equation for the final answer: q=87/5
