Question

During the break, Jayce and his friends went to their favorite restaurant while watching a big football game. They bought a tray of chicken wings to split evenly among the 6 of them. During the game, each friend got 6 chicken wings to snack on. Let w represent how many chicken wings were on the tray to start. Decide and solve which equation will help you solve the problem. 6xw= 6 ► w 6 = 6

Answer 1

The equation that will help you solve the problem is:

6xw = 6

This equation represents the situation where each of the 6 friends got 6 chicken wings to snack on. To solve for "w," which represents the initial number of chicken wings on the tray, you can rearrange the equation:

w = 6/6

Simplifying this:

w = 1

So, there were initially 1 tray of chicken wings on the tray to start.
