Question

Fernando and Roger are both in an art class. Fernando has created 32 projects in class this year. Fernando has created four times as many projects as Roger. Create a multiplication equation that represents the situation. Then, solve how many projects Roger has created this year in art class?

Answer 1

The equation would be f=4r (where r=Roger and f=Fernando). Since you know that Fernando made 32 projects, you can plug in 32 where f is in the equation. This gives you 32=4r. You can solve for the variable by dividing by 4 on both side, hence giving you 8=r. Roger made 8 projects this year.
