(8.03 LC)

Aaron collects 54 rocks at the beach. He wants to give an equal number of rocks to 6 of
his friends. How many rocks did each of Aaron's friends get?
If r represents the number of rocks each friend will get, which equation could be used to
solve the problem?

Answer 1

9, 54=6r

Explanation:

54/6=9 rocks

54=6r

Answer 2

r = 9 in the equation r(6) = 54. You would divide by 6 on both sides to have r by itself giving you r = 9
