Question

Kelsey and her 4 sisters spent an equal amount of time cleaning their home. their parents added their times. they found that each of the five girls spent three hours cleaning. let c be the total number of hours the girls spent cleaning right and solve a division equation to find the total number of hours the girls spent cleaning

Answer 1

15 hours

Explanation:

Kelsey + 4 sisters = 5 girls

Each of the 5 girls spent three hours cleaning

Usually, I would do 5 x 3 = c, but since we need to use a division equation, we should use c / 5 = 3 OR c / 3 = 5.

c/5 = 3

3 x 5 = 15

Check: 15/ 5 = 3
