Quin picked 18 apples then picked 12 more shared all apples equally among herself and 5 friends. Which expression represents the number of apples Quinn now has?
(18+12)/(1+5)
To represent the number of apples Quinn now has, we can use the expression:
18 + 12 ÷ (5 + 1)
This expression accounts for the initial number of apples Quinn picked (18), the additional 12 apples she picked, and then the division of the total number of apples among herself and her 5 friends.
To find the total number of apples Quinn now has, we need to add up the apples she initially picked, the additional 12 apples, and then divide the total equally among herself and her 5 friends.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Quinn initially picked 18 apples.
2. Then, she picked 12 more apples.
3. The total number of apples she now has is 18 + 12 = 30 apples.
Now, to divide these 30 apples equally among herself and her 5 friends, we need to consider 6 people in total (1 for Quinn + 5 friends).
To represent this in an expression, we divide the total number of apples (30) by the total number of people (6), which gives us:
30 ÷ 6 = 5
The expression that represents the number of apples Quinn now has is 5.
