Question

Am cla ha collected 52 can in a food drive. They plan to ort the can into a x bag, with an equal number of can in each bag. Write an expreion to how how many can there will be in each bag

Answer 1

c = 52/x

Explanation:

We have 52 total cans and x bags of with an equal amount of cans in each.

Thus, we would have c = 52/x cans per bag. This is probably the answer you are looking for.

However, this can evaluate to a fractional number of cans, so you may be looking to round that answer down to an integer. In that case, the answer would be c = ⌊52/x⌋, which is solving for the greatest integer less than the value of 52/x

Answer 2

Math Expert Answer

Explanation:

52 cans in total separated into x number of bags. 52/x with x being the number of bags.
