Question

A 10-ounce container of chocolate chips can be used to make 4 desserts. Each dessert has the same number of chocolate chips. Which equation shows how to find the number of ounces in each dessert?

Answer 1

4x = 10 where x is the number of ounces in each dessert.

To solve, we would use inverse operations.

4x / 4 = 10 / 4

x = 2.5

Each recipe uses 2.5 ounces of chocolate chips.

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)

Answer 2

So equation will be 4x = 10

Explanation:

A 10 ounce container of chocolate chips can be used to make 4 desserts.

Each desert has the same number of chocolate chips

Let number of chocolate chips in each dessert = x ounce

Therefore, chocolate chips in 4 deserts = 4x

and total chocolate chips is = 10 ounce.

So equation will be 4x = 10
