Whichstatements can be used to write an expression and then find the number of peanuts that ended up in each bag?Check all that apply.The operation is division.The operation is multiplication.The variable is the number of bags.342 divided by 6 equals 57.Write the division expression as a fraction,To evaluate, substitute 342 for the variable.Each bag will have 57 peanuts.The constant is 342.

Answer 1

342 peanuts were divided equally into 6 small bags. "p" represents the total number of peanuts

To determine how many peanuts go in each bag, you have to divide the total amount of peanuts by the number of bags:

`\frac{p}{nº\text{bags}}=(342)/(6)=57`

The variable of this example is the number of peanuts, and the constant is the number of bags.

So, the statements that apply are:

- The operation is a division

- 342 divided by 6 equals 57

-Each bag will have 57 peanuts.

-To evaluate, substitute 342 for the variable.

-Write the division expression as a fraction,
