To find Elizabeth's share of the pocket money, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the total amount of pocket money:
The total amount of pocket money given for the week is £4.80.
2. Understand Elizabeth's share:
Elizabeth always gets \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the total pocket money.
3. Calculate Elizabeth's share:
To find Elizabeth's share, we multiply the total amount by Elizabeth's fraction of the share:
[tex]\[
\text{Elizabeth's share} = £4.80 \times \frac{3}{8}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
We can break this down as follows:
[tex]\[
\text{Elizabeth's share} = 4.80 \times 0.375
\][/tex]
After performing the multiplication, we get:
[tex]\[
\text{Elizabeth's share} = 1.80
\][/tex]
Therefore, Elizabeth's share of the pocket money for that week is £1.80.
