A. 2d = 12
B. 12 = 2 + d
C. d/2 = 12
D. 12 = d - 2

Answer 1

`\sf \: a) \: 2d = 12`

Explanation:

Given information,

→ Jorge is taking a trip with Bruce.

→ Bruce eats 2 cups of food a day.

Now we have to,

→ Find the required equation.

Let us assume that,

→ d = Number of days

The equation will be,

→ 2d = 12

=> As Bruce eats 2 cups in a day.

Then the value of d will be,

→ 2d = 12

→ d = 12 ÷ 2

→ [ d = 6 ]

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Answer 2

The correct option is option A: 2d = 12.

I apologize if this is incorrect. I hope you have a lovely day! :)
