Question

There are 96 blue paperclips in a bag. The number of blue paperclips is 4 times the number of yellow paperclips that are in the bag. Write a multiplication equation that can be used to find △, the number of yellow paperclips in the bag. Show how to solve the equation and include the answer

Answer 1

△ is 24. I found this out by dividing 96 by 4, since the number of blue paperclips is 4 times the amount of yellow paperclips. A multiplication equation that can be used is 4x=96. X is the number of yellow paperclips. Hope this helped!
