12x + 24 = 60; 2 batches
12 x + 24 = 60; 2 batches
24x + 12 = 60; 2 batches
24 x + 12 = 60; 2 batches
24x + 12 = 60; 3 batches
24 x + 12 = 60; 3 batches
12x + 24 = 60; 3 batches
The correct equation that represents the given situation is 24x + 12 = 60.
To find the number of batches Ruth needs to make to complete the order, we need to solve for x. First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
24x + 12 - 12 = 60 - 12
24x = 48
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 24:
24x/24 = 48/24
x = 2
So Ruth needs to make 2 batches to complete the order. The correct response is:
24x + 12 = 60; 2 batches
