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.
Ruth needs to make a total of 60 - 12 = <<60-12=48>>48 more rolls.
Since Ruth bakes rolls in batches of 24, the equation that represents the given situation is x * 24 = 48.
Thus, Ruth needs to make x = 48 / 24 = <<48/24=2>>2 batches to complete the order. Answer: \boxed{2}.
whats the equation for it
Apologies for the confusion. The correct equation to represent the given situation is:
Total number of rolls needed = Rolls Ruth has + Rolls to be baked
Let's assign variables to each part of the equation:
Total number of rolls needed = 60
Rolls Ruth has = 12
Rolls to be baked = x (unknown)
So, the equation is:
60 = 12 + x
To find the number of batches Ruth needs to make to complete the order, we need to find the value of x.
60 - 12 = x
x = 48
Since Ruth bakes rolls in batches of 24, we divide x by 24 to find the number of batches:
48 / 24 = 2
Therefore, Ruth needs to make 2 batches to complete the order.
is it 12x + 24 = 60; 2 batches or 24x + 12 = 60; 2 batches
The equation for the given situation is 12x + 24 = 60, where x represents the number of batches Ruth needs to make.
To solve for x, we can start by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:
12x + 24 - 24 = 60 - 24
12x = 36
Then, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate x:
12x/12 = 36/12
x = 3
Therefore, Ruth needs to make 3 batches to complete the order.
