Question

A group of 6 friends ate lunch at a

restaurant. The bill came to $42 and the
friends agreed to split it equally. Which
expression represents the number of
dollars each person paid?
a.
a
6/42
b.
6 x 42
42-6
C.
d.
42/6

Answer 1

D. 42/6 ( 42 divided by 6)

Explanation:

Because the 6 friends are deciding to pay an equal amount each that would mean that each of the amounts they are paying would automatically make this problem addition.

So the equation would be 42 divided by 6 which is 7.60 (rounded of course)

So each friend spent $7.60 each.

Since I figured it out with division, the answer D would be the most logical answer.

Answer 2
