Question

Valentina and her friends have collected 1,596 winter hats to donate to 4 local shelters. Part A Which is the best equation to use to estimate the number of hats, h, each shelter will receive? A. 1,500 ÷ 3 = h 1,500 ÷ 3 = h B. 1,500 ÷ 4 = h 1,500 ÷ 4 = h C. 1,600 ÷ 4 = h 1,600 ÷ 4 = h D. 2,000 ÷ 5 = h 2,000 ÷ 5 = h Part B Choose the number to complete the sentence. Each shelter will receive about hats.

Answer 1

The expression or equation to represent the number of hat each shelter will receive is h = 1600 / 4

Algebraic Expression

Algebraic expressions are the mathematical statement that we get when operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. are operated upon on variables and constants.

To represent the amount each local shelter will receive, we can write an expression for that while the variable is present

• h = variable

The number of hats can be found by dividing the total number of hats collected by the number of local shelters.

Estimating the number of hats

1596 ≅ 1600

Number of hats (h) = 1600 / 4

h = 400

Each local shelter will receive 399 hats
