cody has 6 times as many bottle caps in his collection as Rebecca. cody has 36 bottle caps. write an equation to find the number of bottle caps rebecca has,c

6*x=36

36= 6x ____

To find the number of bottle caps Rebecca has, let's use the given information that Cody has 6 times as many bottle caps in his collection. If Cody has 36 bottle caps, we can represent the number of bottle caps Rebecca has with the variable "x."

Since Cody has 6 times as many bottle caps as Rebecca, we can set up the equation:

Cody's bottle caps = Rebecca's bottle caps * 6

Using the information we know, we can substitute the values into the equation:

36 = x * 6

Now, we can solve the equation for "x" by isolating it. To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to cancel out the multiplication:

36/6 = x * 6/6

6 = x

Therefore, Rebecca has 6 bottle caps in her collection.
