Last month, Steven had $4285.68 that he divided into two accounts. He deposited 1/3 into a savings account. He deposited the rest into his checking account.
How much money did Steven deposit into his checking account?

he deposited 2/3 of his money into his checking account so multiply 2/3 and 4285.68
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 1.5*4285.68= 6428.52
OpenStudy (aripotta):
not 1.5, where did you get that from? 2/3(4285.68
OpenStudy (aripotta):
)

3 divided 2=1.5 I was trying to make it into a decimal
OpenStudy (aripotta):
2/3 is 2 divided by 3, not 3 divided by 2. and 2/3 = 0.667
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops...So .667*4285.68= 2858.54856
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I need to round right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 2858.55?

if you do it in a calculator 2 divided by 3 first, then the equal sign, and then multiply the answer with 4285.68, you should get 2857.12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the answer is 2857.12
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yea
OpenStudy (aripotta):
they might want that in a fraction tho
OpenStudy (aripotta):
