Question

On a restaurant sign, 14 light bulbs must be replaced. These light bulbs represent 3/8 of the total number of light bulbs on the sign. If b represents the total number of light bulbs, which equation could be used to determine the value of b?
A. 14*b=3/8
B. 3/8+b=14
C. 14=3/8*b
D. 3/8(14)=b

Answer 1

The answer is C because if u times b(the total amount of light bulbs) and 3/8 (a faction) u will get 14 hope it help

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C. $\frac{3}{8}$ × b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

On a restaurant sign, 14 light bulbs must be replaced. These light bulbs represent $\frac{3}{8}$ of the total number of light bulbs n the sign

We can write it as ⇒ $\frac{3}{8}$ of total number of bulbs = 14

$\frac{3}{8}$ × b = 14

from this equation we can determine the value of b.

Therefore, option c will be the answer.
