Somebody, Anybody please help

Which equation will solve the following word problem? Your brother has 390 CD's that he wants to display in his office. Each shelf can hold 60 CD's. How many shelves will he need?


390s = 60


390 = 60s


390(65) = s


s/390 = 60

Answer 1

The answer should be 390=60s, assuming s is the number of shelves he would need.

By the way, if you want the answer using this formula:
390=60s
390/60=s
6.5=s
s=6.5

Answer 2

The answer is option b) 390 = 60s

Explanation:

Brother has = 390 CDs

A shelf holds = 60 CDs

To get the shelf

Total/ number of shelves

390/60 = shelves

Or 390 = 60s
