Question

One tennis ball can holds 3 balls. Jenna filled 5 cans and had 1 ball left over.

Which equation could we use to find n, the number of tennis balls?
Choose 1 answer.
A. n x 5 = 1 + 3
B. 3 + 5 + 1 = n
C. 5 × 3 +1 = n

Answer 1

Yep the answer is c

Answer 2

It is C 5 x 3 + 1 = n

Explanation:

You would multiply 5 x 3 because you have 3 balls that can fit in a can and there are 5 cans

Then you would add 1 because you had one extra ball that didn't fit in a can
