Question

A 10-ounce container of chocolate chips can be used to make 4 desserts.

Each dessert has the same number of chocolate chips.

Which equation shows how to find the number of ounces in each dessert?

A number line going from 0 to 10 in increments of 1.


10÷4=104 ounces


4÷10=104 ounces


10÷4=410 ounce


4÷10=410 ounce

Answer 1

So equation will be 4x = 10

A 10 ounce container of chocolate chips can be used to make 4 desserts.

Each desert has the same number of chocolate chips

Let number of chocolate chips in each dessert = x ounce

Therefore, chocolate chips in 4 deserts = 4x and total chocolate chips is = 10 ounce.

So equation will be 4x = 10
