Ruth has 12 rolls at her bakery. She receives an online order for 60 rolls. Ruth bakes rolls in batches of 24.
Select the equation that represents the given situation and find the number of batches Ruth needs to make to complete the order.
Let x be the number of batches Ruth needs to make.
The equation that represents the given situation is:
x * 24 = 60
Simplifying the equation, we have:
24x = 60
Dividing both sides of the equation by 24, we find:
x = 2.5
Ruth needs to make 2.5 batches to complete the order. However, since she cannot make a fractional batch, she will need to make 3 batches in order to have enough rolls for the order.
