Ok I'm entering this contest and like the winner earns 5,000 mercindise and more (it's a long to explain). In the contest we had to work in a team of 3 or more so me and my other 3 friends are working together and like we are deciding if we did win the $$$ like how are we going to slit it so each of use gets the money. We did the math it was a repeating decimal but that doesn't help.
Please help

Of course, I can help you with that! To split the prize money evenly among your team members, you need to find a fair way to divide it. Since you mentioned a repeating decimal, it seems like the total prize money cannot be divided equally among all members. In such cases, you will need to find a suitable solution to fairly distribute the money.
One way to approach this situation is to assign a fixed amount to each team member and distribute the remaining amount based on some fair criteria. Here are a few methods you can consider:
1. Equal Shares: Divide the prize money equally among all team members, disregarding the repeating decimal. Assign an equal amount to each person, and ignore any leftover cents.
2. Proportional Shares: Calculate the percentage share of each team member based on their contribution. Add up the total percentage shares and divide the available prize money proportionally. For example, if one team member contributed 40% and another contributed 30%, the first person should receive 40% of the prize money and the second person should receive 30%.
3. Contribution-based Shares: Assess the contributions of each team member and assign shares accordingly. This could be subjective based on the nature of the contest and the team's agreement. For instance, if one team member put in more effort, contributed unique ideas, or handled more significant tasks, they may be assigned a higher share of the prize money.
Ultimately, it's essential to communicate with your teammates and collectively decide on the most fair and acceptable method of splitting the prize money. Openly discussing the options and considering everyone's perspectives will help ensure a fair outcome and maintain a healthy team dynamic.
Remember that dividing money can sometimes be a sensitive matter. It's crucial to approach the discussion with respect and understanding for each team member's contributions and needs.
