A singing competition is auditioning 50 contestants each hour for the next h hours. Which equation can be used to find the total number of contestants, C, that audition in h hours?\

Question

A. 50h = c
B. h/50 = c
C. 50/h = c
D. 50 + h = c

Answer 1

The correct equation to find the total number of contestants, \( C \), that audition in \( h \) hours is:

A. \( C = 50h \)

This equation represents the fact that 50 contestants audition each hour for \( h \) hours, so to find the total, you multiply the number of contestants per hour (50) by the number of hours (h).

So the correct answer is A. \( C = 50h \).
