Question

Isabel’s class has collected 90 cans in a food drive. They plan to sort the cans into n bags, with an equal number of cans in each bag. Write an expression to show how many cans there will be in each bag.

Answer 1

90/n

Explanation:

There are 90 cans, and each bag MUST have an equal amount of cans, so if we had, let's say 2 bags, then there would be 45 bags. We got this by doing 90/2. 2 being n, the expression would be 90/n.
