Question

Mrs. Lang ordered a box of glitter paint for her students to use in art class. She split the bottles of paint evenly among 8 caddies for her art tables. Each caddy got 4 bottles of paint. Let p represent how many bottles of paint Mrs. Lang has in all. Which equation models the problem?

Answer 1

Answer: To model the problem, we can use the equation:

p = 8 * 4

This equation represents the total number of bottles of paint, p, as the product of the number of caddies, which is 8, and the number of bottles of paint per caddy, which is 4.
