Example 6: Using Rational Number Conversions in Problem Solving
a. Eric and four of his friends are taking a trip across the New York State Thruway. They
decide to split the cost of tolls equally. If the total cost of tolls is $8, how much will each
person have to pay?
b. Just before leaving on the trip, two of Eric's friends have a family emergency and cannot
go. What is each person's share of the $8 toll now?
