Question

Beau and Bellas Grandmother gave them a big box of pencils for school. If they split the pencils equally, what equation shows how many pencils they will each get?

T=total numbers of pencils per pack

P=number of pencils for each


A) 2t=p

B) t-2=p

C) P=t/2 <-- fraction

Answer 1

The answer would be C (P=T/2). This can be explained by examining the ratio. If you were to put in the answer of T = 12, then you would be looking for T/2 or 6, assuming we're giving them each half of the amount original held by grandmother.
