Question
On a rainy day, Joe and his friends play a marble game called Revenge. To start, Joe divides a bag of marbles evenly among the 4 players. Each player gets 16 marbles.
Which equation can you use to find the number of marbles m in the bag?
4m=16
m+4=16
m - 4 = 16
m/4 = 16
Solve this equation for m to find the number of marbles in the bag.

To find the number of marbles \( m \) in the bag, we know that the marbles are divided equally among 4 players and each player gets 16 marbles. This relationship can be represented by the equation:
\[
\frac{m}{4} = 16
\]
Now, we will solve this equation for \( m \).
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
\[
m = 16 \times 4
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
m = 64
\]
Therefore, the number of marbles in the bag is \( \boxed{64} \).
\[
\frac{m}{4} = 16
\]
Now, we will solve this equation for \( m \).
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
\[
m = 16 \times 4
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
m = 64
\]
Therefore, the number of marbles in the bag is \( \boxed{64} \).
