Question

1. rowan bought a bag of jelly beans that contained 54 ounces of jelly beans. she divided the jelly beans into bags that contained 6.75 ounces each. write a divis equation that could be used to find the number of bags she made. (example 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable

Let \( n \) be the number of bags Rowan made.

Step2: Set up the equation

The total ounces of jelly beans is 54, and each bag has 6.75 ounces. The number of bags times ounces per bag equals total ounces, so the division equation (since we can also think of total divided by ounces per bag gives number of bags) is \( 54\div6.75 = n \) or \( \frac{54}{6.75}=n \).

Answer:

The division equation is \( \boldsymbol{54\div6.75 = n} \) (where \( n \) is the number of bags).
