Question

11.) Condola has a garden that is 72 square feet. She

wants to create flower beds that are 6 square feet
each. Which equations can be used to find the
number of flower beds, b, Condola can make in
her garden? Select all that apply.
A. 6b = 72
B. b÷6=72
C. 72b = 6
D. 6+ b = 72
E. b-6=72
F. 72÷b=6

Answer 1

Answer: To find the number of flower beds, we can use the equation:

Number of flower beds (b) = Total area of the garden / Area of each flower bed

Given that Condola's garden is 72 square feet and each flower bed is 6 square feet, the equation can be written as:

b = 72 / 6

Simplifying, we get:

b = 12

So, Condola can make 12 flower beds in her garden.

Among the given equations, the correct equation that represents the relationship is:

A. 6b = 72

This equation correctly states that 6 times the number of flower beds (6b) is equal to the total area of the garden (72 square feet).
