If a teacher wants to give ₹4.58 equally to 8 students, how much does each student receive?

Step-by-step solution

1. Set up the division: $4.58÷8$
2. Since the dividend is in rupees and the divisor is an integer, we can convert the rupees to paise for easier calculation: $4.58$ rupees = $458$ paise
3. Divide $458$ paise by $8$ : $458÷8=57$ remainder $2$
4. The remainder $2$ paise corresponds to $0.02$ rupees, so each student gets $57$ paise + $0.02$ rupees = $0.5725$ rupees
5. Write the final answer as $₹0.5725$
