how do you get to 21 dollars with 60 cents by multiplying

Answer 1

I would do it with division, not multiplication.

First change $21 to cents, 2100¢.

Now divide 2100 by 60

What quotient do you get?

Answer 2

convert 21 dollars and 60 cents into decimal portions of dollars:

21$ = 21.00

60 cents = 0.60

what do we multiply 60 cents by to get 21$?

0.60 * ? = 21.00

? = 21.00/0.60

? = 35

multiply 60 cents by 35 to get $21.

Answer 3

First, how many cents are in $21? There are 100 cents in a dollar, so there are 21 x 100 = 2100 cents in $21. That means if you gave me $21 I'd have to give you 2100 cents in exchange.

Now divide 2100 by 60: 2100/60 = 35. That means if arranged my 2100 cents into stacks of 60 cents each, I'd have 35 such stacks and they would = 2100 cents = $21.
