Question

Jefferson works part time and earns 1,520in four weeks how much does he earn each weet

Answer 1

To determine how much he earns each week we need to divide the amount given by 4, that is we need to kae the division:

$1520\div4$

The long division is shown below:

To make the long division we notice that we can't divide the first number (one) by four, then we need to put down the five to get a 15, this number can be divided by four. Fifteen can be divided by four, the number four fits 3 times in fifteen, then we have a three as the first nonzero number. three by 4 is 12. We subtract 12 from 15 to get 3 and the we downed the following two. This procedure is repeated until we have a number that gives zero as a remainder. This is shown in the picture above.

From it we conclude that Jefferson earns $380 each week
