Destiny has 24 flowers. She wants to put them in 4 vases with the same number of flowers in each vase. Use the equations to find how many flowers Destiny should put in each vase.

1 answer

To find out how many flowers Destiny should put in each vase, we can set up the following equation based on the information provided:

Let \( x \) be the number of flowers in each vase. Since there are 4 vases and a total of 24 flowers, we can write the equation:

\[ 4x = 24 \]

To solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 4:

\[ x = \frac{24}{4} \] \[ x = 6 \]

Therefore, Destiny should put 6 flowers in each vase.
