Answer:

The equation to find the total number of cheese crackers in the pack is:
(1)/(3)x = 17

Explanation:

The question will be solved by making a simple linear equation in one variable.

Given that 1/3 of the total number of cheese crackers is 17.

Let x be the number of cheese crackers

The according to the given statement the equation will be:


(1)/(3)x = 17

We just have to multiply both sides of equation by 3 to find the total number of cheese crackers in the pack


3*(1)/(3)x = 17*3\\x = 51

Hence,

The equation to find the total number of cheese crackers in the pack is:
(1)/(3)x = 17
