a poetry class won a $325 prize.the 13 students in the class share the prize equally.how many dollars,d,does each student receive?use the area model to help
each student would get $25.00
What area model?
D=25 dollars for each student
To find out how much each student receives, we can divide the total prize money ($325) by the number of students (13).
Using the area model, we can represent the total prize money as a rectangle with an area of 325 square units. Since we have 13 equal parts, we'll divide the rectangle into 13 equal sections.
To do this, draw a rectangle and divide it into 13 equal vertical sections. Each section will represent an equal share of the prize money.
Starting from the left side of the rectangle, label each section with a number from 1 to 13.
Now, we can determine the value of each section by dividing the total prize money by the number of sections. In this case, each section will have a value of $325 divided by 13, which is approximately $25.
Therefore, each student in the poetry class will receive $25.
