To model the problem, we want to find the equation that relates the number of goodie bags (28), the number of glow sticks in each bag (g), and the total number of glow sticks (168).
The correct equation is:
\[ 28g = 168 \]
Now, to solve for \( g \):
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 28:
\[
g = \frac{168}{28}
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
g = 6
\]
Thus, Ms. Carter put **6 glow sticks** in each goodie bag.
The correct equation is:
\[ 28g = 168 \]
Now, to solve for \( g \):
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 28:
\[
g = \frac{168}{28}
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
g = 6
\]
Thus, Ms. Carter put **6 glow sticks** in each goodie bag.
