Question

There are 24  inches of ribbon in each spool. Margaret needs 384 inches of ribbon. Which equation can Margaret use to find the number of spools, 

s, she needs?

A) 24s=384

B)384/s=24

C) 384/24=s

D) All of these are correct​

Answer 1

Answer: D) All of these are correct

Answer 2

D. All of these are correct

Explanation:

She needs four inches of ribbon and each spool has 24 inches, so we can write this equation like:

384/24 = s

where s is the number of spools.

If we divide 384 inches by the 24 inches each spool has she will get how many spools she needs.

Now having the equation: 384/24 = s, we can change it and it will mean the same.

384/24 = s is the same as 24s = 384; just sending the 24 to multiply on the other side.

And it is the same as 384/s = 24 just sending the s to the other side dividing.

So all of the answers are correct they are just in different orders.
