Question

Leila has 36 photos of her friends. She puts 6 photo on each page in her scrapbook. How many pages does Leila use?

Let p stand for the number of pages Leila uses. Which equations can be used to solve the problem? Choose ALL the correct answers.
p = 6 x 36
36 = p x 6
p = 36 x 6
p = 36 divided by 6

Answer 1

Answer: b and d (options 2 and 4)

Explanation:

36 photos divided amongst ? pages with 6 on each page means that

#1 (p=6*36) is incorrect

#2 (36=p*6) is correct since the number of pages times 6 should equal 36

#3 (p=36*6) is essentially the first option and therefore incorrect

#4 (p=36/6) is correct because 36 pictures divided with 6 pictures on each page will give you the amount of pages

FYI, the amount of pages is 6.
