One-quarter of the chicken pieces in the dish are wings. There are 7 wings. Hiw many chicken pieces are in the dish?
Write an equation to solve the problem.
x/4 = 7
the anwser is 28
Let's represent the total number of chicken pieces in the dish as "x".
Given that one-quarter of the chicken pieces are wings, we can write the equation:
1/4 * x = 7
To solve for "x", we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
4 * (1/4 * x) = 4 * 7
x = 28
Therefore, there are 28 chicken pieces in the dish.
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion by using the given information.
Let's assume that there are 'x' chicken pieces in the dish. We know that one-quarter of the chicken pieces are wings, therefore:
1/4 * x = 7
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of 'x'.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
(1/4) * 4 * x = 7 * 4
x = 28
Therefore, there are 28 chicken pieces in the dish.
