Answer:
$70/$6 = amount of plants (11) or 70/6 = x
Explanation:
1 plant = $6
Available money = $70
- First, find the number when multiplied with 6 that will equal 70 or a number near it:
ex) 6 x 11 = 66 and 6 x 12 = 72
- Second, since Sylia cannot spend over $70, she can only buy 11 plants.
- Third, this can be modeled as a division problem by taking the amount of money Sylia has to spend and dividing it by the cost of each plant:
Spending money ($70) / Cost of one plant ($6) = number of plants (11)
(simplified model) : 70/6 = x (as a whole number)
