Pam gave 252 water balloons to the people who came to a summer party. Each person received 18 balloons. Which equation can be used to find n, the number of people who came to the party?
18n = 252
All of my answer choices are in fraction form....
Why didn't you post your answer choices to begin with???
Because I don't know how to post answer choices in FRACTION form???????
A fraction is written like this:
1/2
4/5
I know that I am saying this is how I am going to explain it.
There is an answer choice it has: choice a)n/18 = 252
Choice b) 252/n = 18
Choice c) 18=n/252
Choice d) 252= 18/n
Which is correct?
Choice b) 252/n = 18
Multiply both sides by n.
252 = 18n
Thanks
You're welcome.
To find the equation that can be used to find the number of people who came to the party, we can use the formula:
n = total number of water balloons / number of balloons received per person
In this case, Pam gave out a total of 252 water balloons and each person received 18 balloons. Therefore, the equation to find n, the number of people who came to the party, would be:
n = 252 / 18
Simplifying this equation would give us:
n = 14
So, the number of people who came to the party (n) is 14.
