A streaming service charges $1.50 per episode of your favorite series. If the cost to watch the entire series is $12, how many episodes are there? Write the equation and answer.
Let x be the number of episodes in the series.
The equation can be written as: 1.50x = 12
To solve for x, divide both sides by 1.50:
x = 12 / 1.50
x = 8
Therefore, there are 8 episodes in the series.
