If you had #26/12# dollars, how much money would that be in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

#26/12 = $2 and 17c#

People often forget how useful fractions are, especially changing between mixed numbers and improper fractions. Any division can be written as a fraction and many divisions are actually easier done by fractions than trying to work with decimals.

[ This is true - believe it or not!!]

In this case #26/12 = 2 2/12 = $2 1/6#

This means we have #$2# dollars and a fraction of a dollar.

#1/6# of a dollar can be found by dividing:

#100 div 6 = 16 4/6 = 16 2/3 " " (6xx16 = 96)#

We obviously don't have #2/3#of a cent, so #17c# would do.
