okay so I don’t have a pen or paper so i’m going to have to write out every step on my phone, let me know if I lose you at any point.
the fraction would be 4/29.16, because you need to equality split the bill between 4 people.
the long division would be:
____________
4|29.16
4 does not go into 2 so place a zero over 2.
0___________
4|29.16
4 goes into 29 seven times, so place 7 over 9. subtract 7x4 from 29.16.
07._________
4|29.16
(-)28
————————-
= 1.16
4 goes into 11 (ignore the decimal and the 6 for now) 2 times. subtract 2x4 from 11.
07.2________
4|29.16
(-)28
————————-
= 1.16
(-) 8
————————-
= .36
4 goes into 36 9 times. subtract 4x9 from 36.
07.29_______
4|29.16
(-)28
————————-
= 1.16
(-) 8
————————-
= .36
(-) 36
————————-
= 0
so your answer would be each person would pay $7.29. I hope this makes sense!!
