The correct answer is A because 6 times 5 is 30

Answer 2

In this word problem, a person named John has 30 stickers and wants to divide them equally among friends. The equation 30 = 6s can be used to find the number of friends John has. The correct answer is b) s = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a word problem for the equation 30 = 6s, we can use the formula where s represents a specific value.

Example word problem:

John has 30 stickers. He wants to divide them equally among his friends. If each friend gets 6 stickers, how many friends does John have?

In this word problem, s represents the number of friends John has.

To solve the equation 30 = 6s, we can substitute s with the given values:
a) If s = 5, then 30 = 6(5)
b) If s = 10, then 30 = 6(10) => This is the correct answer.
c) If s = 15, then 30 = 6(15)
d) If s = 20, then 30 = 6(20)
