At the school's holiday craft fair, Stanley and his classmates get to make gingerbread houses. Their teacher divides a bag of licorice ropes evenly among the 9 students at the table. Each student gets 3 licorice ropes to decorate the roof of his or her gingerbread house.
Which equation can you use to find the number of licorice ropes r that came in the bag?
Solve this equation for r to find the number of licorice ropes that came in the bag.
licorice ropes
The equation that can be used to find the number of licorice ropes, r, in the bag is:
9 * 3 = r
To solve for r, you can multiply 9 by 3:
9 * 3 = 27
Therefore, the number of licorice ropes that came in the bag is 27.
To find the number of licorice ropes r in the bag, you can use the equation:
9 * 3 = r
Simplifying, we have:
27 = r
Therefore, there were 27 licorice ropes in the bag.
To find the number of licorice ropes r that came in the bag, we need to use the information given in the problem. We know that each student received 3 licorice ropes.
Since there are 9 students at the table, we can multiply the number of students by the number of licorice ropes each student received: 9 x 3 = 27.
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the number of licorice ropes r is:
9 * 3 = r
To solve this equation for r, we need to perform the multiplication operation:
27 = r
So, the number of licorice ropes that came in the bag is 27.
