Zayan brought Oreos to share with his 8 friends. Each friend received 3 Oreos. How many Oreos did he bring in all?*1 pointx/3 = 8; x=11x/3 = 8; x = 24x/3 = 8; x = 5x/3 = 8; x = 30

1 answer

To find out how many Oreos Zayan brought in all, we can calculate it based on the number of friends and the amount each friend received.

Zayan has 8 friends, and each friend received 3 Oreos. So, we can calculate the total number of Oreos as follows:

\[ \text{Total Oreos} = \text{Number of friends} \times \text{Oreos per friend} = 8 \times 3 = 24 \]

So, Zayan brought a total of 24 Oreos.

Now, looking at the equations you provided:

  1. \( \frac{x}{3} = 8 \) → \( x = 24 \)
  2. \( x = 11 \) (not relevant)
  3. \( \frac{x}{3} = 8 \) → \( x = 24 \) (same as the first)
  4. \( \frac{x}{3} = 8 \) → \( x = 24 \) (same as the first)
  5. \( \frac{x}{3} = 8 \) → \( x = 30 \) (not correct)

The correct solution from the options is \( x = 24 \).
