To solve for w, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the denominator:
1/5w * 5 = 9 * 5
w = 45
Therefore, the value of w is 45.
1/5w = 9
w = ?

Lori and Jayden open 6 packs of baseball cards. have 74 cards in all they want to know how many cards, c , were in each pack Lori writes the equation 6c = 72 to represent the situation. Jayden writes the equation c = 74/6 to represent the situation. who is correct?
1. only Lori is correct
2. only Jayden is correct
3. Both Lori and Jayden are correct.
4. Neither Lori nor Jayden is correct
1. only Lori is correct
2. only Jayden is correct
3. Both Lori and Jayden are correct.
4. Neither Lori nor Jayden is correct
To determine who is correct, we can solve both equations:
Lori's equation: 6c = 72
Divide both sides by 6:
c = 72 / 6
c = 12
Jayden's equation: c = 74 / 6
c = 12.333...
Since the number of cards cannot be a decimal in this context, Jayden's calculation is incorrect. Therefore, only Lori is correct.
So, the correct answer is:
1. Only Lori is correct.
Lori's equation: 6c = 72
Divide both sides by 6:
c = 72 / 6
c = 12
Jayden's equation: c = 74 / 6
c = 12.333...
Since the number of cards cannot be a decimal in this context, Jayden's calculation is incorrect. Therefore, only Lori is correct.
So, the correct answer is:
1. Only Lori is correct.
how many cards are in the each pack?
there are ? cards is each pack
there are ? cards is each pack
According to Lori's correct calculation, there are 12 cards in each pack.
