Question

On a hike, 5 children equally shared a box of granola bars. There were 9 granola bars in the box. Which equation shows the number of granola bars, n, each child received?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

g = granolas in the box

n = number of granolas received

We don't know how many granolas were in the box, so we use g.

G number of granola bars must be divided by 5 children, or in other words

G/5

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

g/5 = n

Explanation:

"g" granola bars are given out between 5 students, so to express that we would put g/5

Then that would equal "n", but we don't know the amount so the equation would be...

g/5 = n
