Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.

Problem 1:

Jackson travelled 3630 miles in 60 days.
We want to find the average miles per day.

→ To find average, divide total miles by number of days:

3630 ÷ 60

Let’s do the division:

60 × 60 = 3600 → that’s close to 3630
3630 - 3600 = 30
So, 60 + (30 ÷ 60) = 60 + 0.5 = 60.5

✔ So, Jackson traveled 60.5 miles per day on average.

Problem 2:

Terrance earned:
- March: $444
- April: $523
- May: $410

First, add all earnings:

444 + 523 = 967
967 + 410 = 1377

He divided this between himself and 4 other workers → that’s 5 people total.

Now divide 1377 by 5:

1377 ÷ 5

5 × 275 = 1375
1377 - 1375 = 2 → so 275 with remainder 2 → which is 275.4

Wait — let’s check:

5 × 275.4 = 5 × 275 = 1375, plus 5 × 0.4 = 2 → total 1377 ✔

So each person gets $275.40

But since money is usually written with two decimals, we’ll write it as $275.40

Problem 3:

Milly made 45 t-shirts.

She sold each for $30 → so total sales = 45 × 30

45 × 30 = 1350

But she had to pay $8.50 tax for each shirt → so total tax = 45 × 8.50

Let’s calculate 45 × 8.50:

First, 45 × 8 = 360
Then, 45 × 0.50 = 22.50
Total tax = 360 + 22.50 = 382.50

Now subtract tax from total sales:

1350 - 382.50 = ?

1350 - 300 = 1050
1050 - 82.50 = 967.50

✔ So Milly made $967.50 after paying taxes.

Problem 4:

Zoe played soccer for 12 years.

Each year has 52 weeks.

She trained twice a week every year.

So first, find total weeks: 12 × 52

12 × 50 = 600
12 × 2 = 24
Total = 600 + 24 = 624 weeks

She trained 2 times per week → so total sessions = 624 × 2

624 × 2 = 1248

✔ Zoe went to 1248 training sessions.

Final Answer:

1. 60.5
2. $275.40
3. $967.50
4. 1248
