Jamie has 105 pieces of candy leftover from Halloween. She would like to distribute them evenly to the 7 kids on her block. Write an equation to show how many pieces of candy each kid will receive.

x = seven divided by one hundred five
x = one hundred five divided by seven
7 + x = 105
x = 105 − 7

For this case we have that the variable "x" represents the amount of candies that each child touches.

If there are a total of 105 candies and they want to be distributed equally among 7 children, then we have the following expression:


x = \frac {105} {7}

Thus, the correct option is:

"x = one hundred five divided by seven"

Answer:

OPTION B
