Ryan set a table with a fork, knife, and spoon for each dinner guest. He used a total of 36 pieces of silverware. Which number sentence will find how many guests were invited to Ryan's dinner? CR CLEAR SUBMIT 36 x 3 = 108 36 : 3 = 12 Lai 36 – 3 = 33 36 + 3 = 39

\begin{gathered} \text{total of pieces of silverware= 36} \\ \text{one fork, one knife and one spoon for each guest} \\ 3\text{ pieces of silverware for each gueste} \\ \text{Total guest =}\frac{\text{total of pieces of silverware}}{\text{ pieces of silverware for each gueste}} \\ \\ \text{Total guest =}\frac{\text{3}6}{\text{3}} \\ \\ \text{Total guest =12} \end{gathered}
