To determine the total amount of the bill when Kathryn and her three friends split it evenly, we first need to understand that there are 4 people total (Kathryn and her three friends). If each person paid $13, then the total bill can be represented by adding the amounts each person paid.
Since there are 4 people, the total bill \( x \) can be calculated as:
\[
x = 4 \times 13
\]
From this, we can derive the equation that represents the situation:
\[
x = 4 \times 13
\]
This can be rearranged as:
\[
\frac{x}{4} = 13
\]
Thus, the correct equation that represents the scenario in your responses would be:
**A: \( \frac{x}{4} = 13 \)**
This means that the total amount of the bill \( x \) divided by the number of people (4) equals the amount each person paid ($13).

x = 4 \times 13
