I assume you are in a low grade because this is very easy but he puts 6 flowers on each cupcake.

30 divided by 5 equals 6

The correct equation is i.
\(3c=36\), and Evelyn decorates 12 cupcakes.

To represent the relationship between the number of cupcakes decorated (c) and the number of sugar flowers (36), you can use the equation:


\[3c = 36\]

This equation signifies that for each cupcake, Evelyn puts 3 sugar flowers, and the total number of sugar flowers is 36. To find the number of cupcakes (c), you can solve for c:


\[c = (36)/(3) = 12\]

So, Evelyn decorates 12 cupcakes.

In the given options:

i.
\(3c=36\) is the correct equation, as explained above.

ii.
\(c-3=36\) implies subtracting 3 from the number of cupcakes, which is not the case here.

iii.
\(c/3=36\) implies dividing the number of cupcakes by 3, which does not represent the scenario.

iv.
\(c+3=36\) implies adding 3 to the number of cupcakes, which is not the correct relationship.

Therefore, the correct equation is
\(3c=36\), and Evelyn decorates 12 cupcakes.

The question probable maybe:

After watching baking shows on T.V., Evelyn signs up for a cake-decorating class. To practice her new skills, she decorates a batch of cupcakes with sugar flowers. Evelyn puts 3 sugar flowers on each cupcake. In all, Evelyn puts 36 sugar flowers on the cupcakes. Which equation can you use to find the number of cupcakes c Evelyn decorates?

i. 3c=36

ii. c-3=36

iii. c/3 =36

iv. c+3=36

Solve this equation for c to find the number of cupcakes Evelyn decorates ___ cupcakes.
