Question

Max organized a community toy drive for the holidays. he asked each family to donate a total of 3 gifts. fifteen families participated in the toy drive. write and solve an equation that represents how many gifts were donated.

Answer 1

To find the total number of gifts donated, multiply the number of families by the number of gifts each family donated. In this case, 15 families participated in the toy drive and each family donated 3 gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of gifts donated, we need to multiply the number of families participating in the toy drive by the number of gifts each family donated. In this case, the number of families participating in the toy drive is 15, and each family was asked to donate 3 gifts. Therefore, the equation representing the number of gifts donated is 15 x 3 = 45.

Answer 2

Answer: g/15 = 3 ; g = 45 gifts.

Step-by-step explanation: You would basically have to multiply 15 by 3, and it equal 45. This answer choice shows an equation that will make the answer 45, so it is right.

g/15 will equal 3.

Then, you would break them apart and do the denominator (15) multiplied by the numerator (3).

This will get you the answer 45.

So, you will get the answer choice A.
