Question

For her grandfather's birthday, Valeria is baking cupcakes. With every egg she can find, she can bake 6 cupcakes.
Write an equation that shows how the total number of cupcakes Valeria can bake, y, depends on the number of eggs she can find, x.

Answer 1

To express the total number of cupcakes Valeria can bake (y) in terms of the number of eggs she has (x), we can use the following equation:

\[ y = 6x \]

In this equation, \( y \) represents the total number of cupcakes, and \( x \) represents the number of eggs Valeria can find. Since each egg allows her to bake 6 cupcakes, multiplying the number of eggs by 6 gives the total number of cupcakes.
