the price of a 3- pack spinner is one third the price of the of a dozen flyboys. write and solve a division equation to find the price of a dozen fly-boys. there are $3 for each 3-pack spinner . is the equation supposed to be n/12=27?
omg please answer my question. is it right or not right

To find the price of a dozen flyboys, we can define the variables:
Let's say the price of a 3-pack spinner is "x".
According to the given information, the price of a 3-pack spinner is one third the price of a dozen flyboys. So we know that:
x = (1/3) * price of a dozen flyboys
To find the price of a dozen flyboys, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 3, to cancel out the (1/3) fraction:
3x = price of a dozen flyboys
So, n/12 = 3x is not the correct equation. The correct equation is:
3x = price of a dozen flyboys
Remember, "n" is not used in this problem, we're using "x" as the price of a 3-pack spinner.
To write the division equation to find the price of a dozen flyboys, we can start by defining some variables:
Let's say the price of a 3-pack spinner is denoted by "s" (in dollars).
And let "f" represent the price of a dozen flyboys (in dollars).
According to the information given, the price of a 3-pack spinner is one third the price of a dozen flyboys. This can be written as:
s = (1/3) * f
Now, we need to find the price of a dozen flyboys, which is represented by "f". To do so, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * s = 3 * (1/3) * f
On the left side, the 3's cancel out, leaving us with:
3s = f
So, the division equation to find the price of a dozen flyboys is f = 3s.
Now, let's substitute the given information that each 3-pack spinner costs $3. Plug in the value of "s" in the equation:
f = 3 * 3
Simplifying, we have:
f = 9
Hence, the price of a dozen flyboys is $9.
