Answer 1

The division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will need is
`\frac x8=4.5`.

Allison will need 36 strawberries.

Explanation:

Given;

Number of strawberries in each servings = 4.5

Number of servings = 8

We need to write and solve the division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will need.

Solution:

Number of strawberries Allison will need be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Number of strawberries Allison will need divided by number of servings is equal to number of strawberries in each serving.

framing in equation form we get;

`\frac x8=4.5`

Hence The division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will need is
`\frac x8=4.5`.

On solving the equation we get;

Multiplying both side by 8 we get;

`\frac x8*8=4.5*8\\\\x=36`

Hence Allison will need 36 strawberries.
