Pedro bought 4 boxes of cereal for some amount. The cost per box was $3. Write a division equation to find the amount of money Pedro spent on his cereal.
I can do a multiplication equation but don’t understand how to do a division one
c/4 = 3
To write a division equation to find the amount of money Pedro spent on his cereal, you need to divide the total cost by the number of boxes.
Let's call the total amount of money Pedro spent on his cereal "T".
Since Pedro bought 4 boxes of cereal, and the cost per box was $3, the total cost of the 4 boxes can be found by multiplying the cost per box by the number of boxes:
Total cost = Cost per box × Number of boxes
So, the equation can be written as: T = 4 × $3.
To find the amount of money Pedro spent on his cereal, you can solve this equation by performing the multiplication.
