The correct equation that represents the given situation is D.
12x (rolls already at the bakery) + 24 (rolls baked in each batch) = 60 (total rolls needed for the order)
So 12x + 24 = 60
Solving for x, we get x = 2.
Therefore, Ruth needs to make 2 batches to complete the order.
Ruth has 12 rolls at her bakery. She receives an online order for 60 rolls. Ruth bakes rolls in batches of 24.
Select the equation that represents the given situation and find the number of batches Ruth needs to make to complete the order.
