Question

One of the tables mr.still class brought in 3 times as many glue sticks as one of the tables in Mrs.thornton class. How many glue sticks did that table group in mr.Still class bring write and solve an equation to show

Answer 1

Let the number of glue sticks brought in Mrs. Thornton class be 'x'

Let the number of tables brought in Mr. Still class be 'y'

According to the question, the number of tables of Mr.Still class is 3 times as many glue sticks as in Mrs.Thornton class.

Therefore, Number of tables = 3 x Number of glue sticks

So, y = 3
`* x`

`y = 3x`

Now, we have to determine the number of glue sticks.

Since,
`y = 3x`

Therefore,
`x = (y)/(3)`

So, there are
`(y)/(3)` glue sticks which that table group brought in Mr.Still class.
