Tyrone buys 24 strawberries and 8 kiwis. How many times more strawberries than kiwis does Christ buy? Use t as the unknown number and write an equation for the problem.
Let C be the number of times more strawberries than kiwis Christ buys.
The equation representing the problem is C = 24/8.
To find out how many times more strawberries than kiwis Christ buys, we need to compare the quantity of strawberries and kiwis. Let's start by writing an equation.
Let t be the unknown number we're looking for (the number of times more strawberries than kiwis Christ buys).
The equation for the problem can be written as:
24 (strawberries) = t (times more) * 8 (kiwis)
In other words, the number of strawberries is t times more than the number of kiwis.
Let's use the variable "t" to represent the number of times more strawberries Christ buys compared to kiwis.
Since Tyrone buys 24 strawberries and 8 kiwis, we can say that Christ buys t * 8 kiwis.
The number of strawberries Christ buys can be represented as t * (24), which can be written as 24t.
Now we can write the equation:
24t = t * 8
This equation represents that the number of strawberries Christ buys, 24t, is equal to t times the number of kiwis Tyrone buys, 8.
