Question

Write and solve an equation and then check your answer. Complete the statements. Graciella divided her grapes equally among 6 friends. If each friend received 16 grapes, how many grapes did Graciella have? The variable, g, represents . The equation that correctly models the problem is . To undo what has been done to the variable, on both sides of the equation. The solution of the equation is . Check the solution by substituting in for g and simplifying.

Answer 1

The variable, g, represents

✔ the number of grapes Graciella had

.

The equation that correctly models the problem is

✔ g/6 = 16

.

To undo what has been done to the variable,

✔ multiply by 6

on both sides of the equation.

The solution of the equation is

✔ g = 96

.

Check the solution by substituting

✔ 96

in for g and simplifying.

Answer 2

1.) For drop down number 1 The variable,
`g`, represents Is A. "✔ the number of grapes Graciella had."

2.) For drop down number 2 The equation that correctly models the problem is A. "
`g/6 = 16`."

3.) For the drop down number 3 To undo what has been done to the variable Is C, "multiply by 6" on both sides of the equation.

4.) For the drop down number 4 The solution of the equation is D,
`g = 96`

5.) For the drop down number 5 Check the solution by substituting Is D, 96 In for
`g` and simpilfying.
