Answer:

A, C, and E

Explanation:

To solve the equation, you would divide both sides by 5 to get t alone. the remaining equation would be t=35.

To figure out t, you need to do division, therefore the scenario requires division.

A. You can do 175 tons of food ÷ 5 tons a day. t represents the number of days. Therefore, 175÷5=35 days. (division)

B. This would be $175 - $5 since Thomas gave his sister $5. Thomas is left with $170 in winnings. (subtraction)

C. 175 minutes are used to grade 5 tests. 175 minutes ÷ 5 tests = 35 minutes spend grading 1 test. (division)

D. Mary's bookshelf holds 175 books and the top shelf only holds 5. Therefore, 175 books - 5 books on the top shelf = 170 books on the bottom shelf (unless there are more shelves). (subtraction)

E. 175 days ÷ 5 gallons of paint a day. 175÷5 = 35 gallons of paint used. (division)

Hope this helps!
