Sebastian bought a 30-pack of mechanical pencils and plans to give the same number of pencils each to 6 friends. Which equation can he use to find p, the number of pencils each friend will receive? p 6 = 30 p minus 6 = 30 6 p = 30 StartFraction p Over 6 EndFraction = 30.

Sagot :

The equation, that Sebastian can use to find p, the number of pencils each friend will receive is given by: Option C: 6p = 30

How to form mathematical expression from the given description?

You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.

For this case, we're given that:

  • Sebastian has 30 pencils
  • Sebastian will distribute p pencils to each of his 6 friends.

Now, that means, if we collect all those p pencils, then they should be 30 in count.

Sum of pencils from 6 friends = p + p + p + p + p + p = 30

or

[tex]6 \times p = 30[/tex] (since p was added 6 times itself, so we write it as 6 times p)

we don't write the "×" sign, (Using sign of multiplication is often hidden if there are non numeric symbols and numbers being multiplied are written together) Thus, the equation is 6p = 30 (well both equations are same).

Thus, the equation, that Sebastian can use to find p, the number of pencils each friend will receive is given by: Option C: 6p = 30
