LESSON 4 Money Jar

The Franklins save their pennies, nickels, and dimes in a jar in the family room. The father, Frank, and the mother, Flora, have four children—Frankie Franklin, Fred Franklin, Fern Franklin, and Ben Franklin. On the first Friday of each month, the Franklins divide the coins in the jar among the members of the family. They use the following rules:

• The children always share the pennies equally.
• The other coins are divided equally among all the members of the family.
• Any money that cannot be divided equally is put back into the jar.
