Question

samantha has 20 marbles paul has m marbles. Of samantha has 6 times as many marbles as paul, write an equation to show how many marbles paul has?

Answer 1

20 = 6m or m = 20/6 = 10/3

Explanation:

You see 6m or m is equal to 20

Answer 2

20 = 6m or m = 20/6 = 10/3

Explanation:

Let's say Samantha has s marbles and Paul has m marbles.

We know that s = 20 and that Samantha has 6 times as many marbles as Paul. This means s = 6m.

Substitute 20 in for s:

20 = 6m

m = 20/6

Thus, the equation is m = 20/6.
