Question

Enrique has 63 baseball cards, which is 9 times as many as Damion. How many baseball cards does Damion have? Write an equation to solve this problem. Let c represent the number of baseball cards Damion has.(1 point) Responses 63 x 9 = c 63 x 9 = c 63 x c = 9 63 x c = 9 9 x c = 63 9 x c = 63 9 + c = 63

Answer 1

To find how many baseball cards Damion has, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

Enrique has 63 baseball cards, which is 9 times as many as Damion has. If we let \( c \) represent the number of baseball cards Damion has, we can write the equation:

\[ 9c = 63 \]

Now, we need to solve for \( c \):

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 9:

\[ c = \frac{63}{9} \]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[ c = 7 \]

So, Damion has 7 baseball cards.

Among the provided options, the correct equation to represent this relationship is:

9 x c = 63
