Question

When the towels from a hotel were divided evenly among 5 laundry baskets, each basket contained 18 towels. Which equation, when solved, will show how many towels there were in all? t ÷ 5 = 18 5 ÷ t = 18 90 ÷ t = 18 18 – t = 5

Answer 1

t / 5 = 18 <== ur equation

t/5 = 18
t = 18 * 5
t = 90 <== there were a total of 90 towels

Answer 2

t/5 = 18

you are dividing t (the number of towels) into 5 different laundry baskets, each resulting in 18 being put inside

Therefore, your equation is t/5 =18, whereas t = 90

hope this helps
