Question

8. Edward has 24 toy cars and wants to divide them equally among his 6 friends. Which equation can be used to help him divide the cars equally?

12×2-n
06xn=24
8xx=24
24x6=n

Answer 1

The equation that can be used to help Edward divide the toy cars equally among his 6 friends is:

6n = 24

Where "n" represents the number of toy cars each friend will receive.

This equation can be derived by dividing the total number of toy cars by the number of friends:

n = total number of cars ÷ number of friends

In this case, the total number of cars is 24, and the number of friends is 6, so:

n = 24 ÷ 6

n = 4

Therefore, each friend will receive 4 toy cars. And this can be verified by substituting "n=4" in the original equation:

6n = 6 x 4 = 24 (total number of cars)
