Question

Consider the equation below.



Select all of the story problems that could be answered by solving the equation. Then, select the correct value of n.

n = 18
Andy pours a -liter jug of bleach into -liter bottles. How many bottles will be filled?
A loaf of bread is inches long. How many -inch slices can be cut from the bread?
Cynthia runs around the track times. The track is of a mile long. How many total miles did Cynthia run?
n = 11
n = 22

Answer 1

I’m missing the equation and the numbers in the story problems (the problem text you pasted has blanks). Could you paste the exact equation and the full story problems (with the numbers/units filled in)?

If you don’t have them, here’s how you can check which stories match any given equation:
- If the equation is n = total ÷ size (division), it matches problems of the form “How many (size) pieces fit into (total)?” (e.g., bottles filled, slices cut).
- If the equation is n = times × distance (multiplication), it matches problems of the form “How many total miles/units did someone do if they did something a certain number of times?” (e.g., laps × track length).

Give me the missing equation or the filled-in story problems and I’ll pick the correct story problems and the correct value of n.
