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 viable.
5 h equals 42 , so h equals 8.4 horses, which is viable.

5h=42
, so h=8.4
horses, which is nonviable.
5 h equals 42 , so h equals 8.4 horses, 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.

h5=42
, so h=210
, which is nonviable.

Answer 1

Equation: 5h = 42, so h = 42/5 = 8.4 horses. This is nonviable because you cannot train a fractional part of a horse (you can train at most 8 whole horses).
