The picture shows $40.50 that two friends earned mowing a lawn.

Question

They want to share the money equally.

Drag the money below to show how much each friend will get.

Answer 1

To equally share $40.50 between two friends, each friend will get half of that amount.

To calculate that, you divide $40.50 by 2:

\[ \frac{40.50}{2} = 20.25 \]

So, each friend will receive $20.25.

If you're visually representing this amount, you could drag or place two $20.25 amounts (or create a combination of smaller bills and coins that add up to $20.25 for each friend).

For example, you could show the following for each friend:

• One $20 bill and one quarter ($0.25).

That would total $20.25 for each friend.
