Question

Esther the Clown does face painting at the city carnival. She paints 7 faces every 21 minutes and spends the same amount of time painting each face.

Write an equation that relates f, the number of faces she paints, and m, the time she spends painting in minutes.

Answer 1

The answer is m/f = 3

Explanation:

If Esther paints 7 faces in 21 minutes, then that means division.

21 / 7 = 3

It takes three minutes to paint each face.

The equation would look like this: m/f = 3 minutes on every face.
