For a math project, Elyssa and Zoe want to combine their money
and distribute it equally among 12 fifth graders. If Elyssa has $8.40
and Zoe has $7.20, how much money does each fifth grader get?
A. $0.60
The first step would be to add Elyssa and Zoe’s money together. $8.40 + $7.20 = $15.60. You would the divide 15.60 with 12. Which gives you the remaining number of $1.30 each student.
