Question
A horse trainer has 42 horse treats. She needs five treats per horse. Which equation shows the number of horses, h, that she can train, and is the solution viable or nonviable?(1 point)
Responses
5h=42
, so h=8.4
horses, which is nonviable.
5 h equals 42 , so h equals 8.4 horses, which is nonviable.
h5=42
, so h=210
, which is nonviable.
Start Fraction h over 5 End Fraction equals 42 , so h equals 210 , which is nonviable.
h−5=42
, so h=47
, which is not viable.
h minus 5 equals 42 , so h equals 47 , which is not viable.
5h=42
, so h=8.4
horses, which is viable

To determine which equation correctly represents the scenario of distributing 42 horse treats with 5 treats per horse, we formulate the equation as follows:
1. Let \( h \) be the number of horses.
2. Since she needs 5 treats for each horse, the equation representing the total number of treats is:
\[
5h = 42
\]
Now we can solve for \( h \):
\[
h = \frac{42}{5} = 8.4
\]
Since you cannot have a fraction of a horse, this means that the solution \( h = 8.4 \) horses is not a viable solution. Therefore, the correct response is:
**5h = 42, so h = 8.4 horses, which is nonviable.**
