divide 1160 by 4 using a calculator

Answer:

Factory B has 290 workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer the question, you can use an equation that represents the statement.

For example, let A be the workers of Factory A and B the workers of Factory B.

You have to write the statement as an equation. For the given statement is known that  Factory A has 4 times as many workers as Factory B. It can be expressed as an equality (because it says "has 4 times as many as")

A = 4B

But A=1160

Replace the value of A in the equation:

1160 = 4B

Now you have to find the value of B. Dividing each side of the equation by 4:

\(\frac{1160}{4} = \frac{4B}{4}  \\B = 290\)
