Soft using division of rational numbers if a car's valued decreases by $2,500 in the first 6 months how much does the value decreased per month round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

To find the monthly decrease in the car's value when it decreases by $2,500 over 6 months, you can use division of rational numbers.

The formula to find the monthly decrease is:

\[ \text{Monthly Decrease} = \frac{\text{Total Decrease}}{\text{Number of Months}} \]

In this case:

\[ \text{Monthly Decrease} = \frac{2500}{6} \]

Now, let's perform the division:

\[ \frac{2500}{6} \approx 416.6667 \]

Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth:

\[ 416.67 \]

Thus, the value of the car decreases by approximately $416.67 per month.
