Question

the table shows different ways that cameron can display his 12 model cars on shelves. How many shelves will display 2 cars if 8 oof the shelves each display 1 car?

Answer 1

4 shelves

Explanation:

if there is 8 shelves that display 1 car then that means there is 8 cars total.

so if you need a total of 12 cars then you would do (total of cars needed - total of cars you have).

(12-8) which would equal 4.

you need 4 cars left but on each shelf going forward needs to have 2 cars on it.

now since you have 4 cars you would divide that by the amount of cars on each shelf going forward.

4/2) which equals 2.

you need 2 more shelfs for the 4 cars needed.
