Question

What is 512/53 simplified. Aiden gets 54 as his answer. Carrie gets 59 as her answer. Who is correct? Explain how you know that they are correct?

Answer 1

as it is written . . .the answer would have to be neither

Explanation:

512/53 = 9.6603

Answer 2

Neither one is correct. 512/53 equals 9 35/53. The reason that I know this is because 53 goes into 512 9 times and your left with 35 and you just put the 35 over 53.
