Question

Hannah volunteers at an animal shelter every Saturday. Last Saturday, she fed each bunny at the shelter 3 carrots. Hannah fed 30 carrots to the bunnies in all. Let b represent the number of bunnies at the shelter. Which equation models the problem?

a) 3b = 30
b) b + 3 = 30
c) b/3 = 30
d) 3 + b = 30

Answer 1

The equation that models the problem is 3b = 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the problem is a) 3b = 30. Since Hannah fed each bunny 3 carrots and fed a total of 30 carrots, the number of bunnies can be represented by 'b'. Multiplying the number of bunnies by 3 should equal 30.
