Question

Paula had flowers to decorate tables. She put the same number of flowers into 4 vases. Which expression shows the number of flowers Paula put in each vase? Let the variable f stand for the number of flowers Paula started with. A. 4f B. f+4 C. f-4 D. f / 4

Answer 1

D. f/4. If you use that you divide the total number of flowers to get the amount in each vase. For example, say there are 16 flowers total. so, 16 divide by 4. You would put four flowers in each vase:) 

Answer 2

Well, if she had four vases, and a number of flowers in each, the expression would be 4f!
