Sam uses an equation to calculate the total number of apples contained in any number of shipping crates. which of the following is an equation?
A.n=a∗c<<<<<<<< is it A
B.n≥a∗c
C.n≤a∗c
D.n÷a∗c
Study the site I just posted for you.
Yes. A is correct.
To determine the correct equation, we need to understand what each variable represents.
Let's break down the given options:
A. n = a * c represents the equation where n is equal to the product of a and c. This equation calculates the total number of apples (n) by multiplying the number of crates (a) by the number of apples in each crate (c).
B. n ≥ a * c is an inequality, not an equation. The symbol "≥" means "greater than or equal to," suggesting that the total number of apples (n) is either greater than or equal to the product of a and c.
C. n ≤ a * c is another inequality, not an equation. The symbol "≤" means "less than or equal to," indicating that the total number of apples (n) is either less than or equal to the product of a and c.
D. n ÷ a * c is not the correct equation either. It represents n divided by the product of a and c. This does not correctly represent the total number of apples contained in the crates.
Therefore, the correct equation for calculating the total number of apples is option A: n = a * c.
