Which of the following can be represented by the equation 3X equals 24 Rita bought stickers and divided them among herself and two other friends each one received 24 stickers. How many stickers did Rita buy?
The cost of a parachute is three times the cost of a shirt if the shirt cost $24 how much does the shoes cost?
Andrew pick three words from a dictionary every week and listen in his notebook. So far he has listed 24 words. How many weeks has Andrew been doing this
A survey was conducted to determine the subject of seventh grade students 1/3 of all surveys students or 24. Students said math is their favorite subject. How many students were surveyed
To answer these questions, let's solve each equation:
1) 3X = 24
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
X = 8
Therefore, Rita bought 8 stickers.
2) The cost of the shoes is 3 times the cost of the shirt, which is $24. Thus, the cost of the shoes is:
3 * 24 = $72
Therefore, the shoes cost $72.
3) Andrew has listed 24 words in his notebook. Since he picks three words every week, we can divide the total words listed by three to find the number of weeks he has been doing this:
24 / 3 = 8
Therefore, Andrew has been doing this for 8 weeks.
4) 1/3 of all surveyed students said math is their favorite subject, and this represents 24 students. Thus, if we consider 1/3 of the total number of surveyed students as 24, we can find the total number of surveyed students:
(1/3) * X = 24
Multiplying both sides by 3, we get:
X = 72
Therefore, 72 students were surveyed.
