Question

On a restaurant sign, 14 light bulbs must be replaced. These light bulbs represent 3/8 of the total number of light bulbs on the sign. If b represents the total number of light bulbs, which equation could be used to determine the value of b?

A. 14*b=3/8
B. 3/8+b=14
C. 14=3/8*b
D. 3/8(14)=b

Answer 1

The answer is C because if u times b(the total amount of light bulbs) and 3/8 (a faction) u will get 14 hope it help

Answer 2

Option C.
`(3)/(8)` × b = 14

Explanation:

On a restaurant sign, 14 light bulbs must be replaced. These light bulbs represent
`(3)/(8)` of the total number of light bulbs n the sign

We can write it as ⇒
`(3)/(8)` of total number of bulbs = 14

`(3)/(8)` × b = 14

from this equation we can determine the value of b.

Therefore, option c will be the answer.
