Answer:

A. 5

Explanation:

A, since you can follow these steps:

First, find how many total pieces of candy must be distributed. This is always what needs to be answered in this sort of question.

In this case, it is 3 bags of candy ⋅ 15 pieces of candy in each.

The result - from 3(15) - is 45 total pieces of candy.

Now, we see that we're distributing that value among 9 people (this is another correct way of wording it).

So the result is 45/9, which then results in 5 pieces of candy for 9 guests.

I hope this helped a bunch! Tell me if you need any further assistance...

Answer:

a. 5

Explanation:

Given that Sophia bought 3 bags of candy, and each bag has 15 pieces:


3*15 = 45

Sophia has 45 total pieces of candy.

If Sophia would like to fill 9 party bags with the candy she has bought, she must divide the 45 total pieces of candy into the 9 party bags:


45 ÷
9=5

Therefore, each party bag will have 5 pieces of candy in it.
