Answer 1

with what?

Answer 2

Last month, Steven had $4285.68 that he divided into several bank accounts. He deposited 3/8 into an account to save for college. He deposited 1/4 into another account to save for a car.

How much money did he deposit to save for college and a car altogether?

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }*\frac{ 4285.68 }{ 1 }= \frac{ 3*4285.68 }{ 8*1 }= \frac{ 12857.04 }{ 8}\]Now grab a calculator and divide 12857.04 by 8 and that will tell you how much money he saved for college.

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }*\frac{ 4285.68 }{ 1 }=\frac{ 1*4285.68 }{ 4*1 }=\frac{ 4285.68 }{ 4 }\]Grab a calculator and divide 4285.68 by 4 and that will tell you how much money he saved for a car.

To find the amount saved altogether, just add the two amounts.
