Question

Leroy won the raffle at the zoo and gets to feed the dolphins! The dolphin trainer gives Leroy

a bucket of fish to divide evenly among 5 dolphins. Each dolphin gets 4 fish.
Which equation can you use to find the number of fish f in the bucket before Leroy feeds the
dolphins?
F/5=4
5f=4
F-5=4
F+5=4

Answer 1

F/5=4

Explanation:

F is the total amount of fish. Since there are 5 dolphins to feed, you should divide F by 5.

Answer 2

A. F/5 = 4

Explanation:

F is the total of fish so F is divided by the total of dolphins, which is 5

so F/5 = 4
