Answer 1

Answer:

Kaya found 25 shells on the beach yesterday.Today she found 25 more shell. She sorted all the shells into 5 pile.Which equation can be used to find how many shells are in each pile?

A.s=(25+25)÷5

B.s=25÷5

C.s=(25+25)-5

Equation A can be used to find the number of shells in each piles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of shells Kaya found day before = $25$

Number of shells she found today = $25$

According to the question:

She sorted it into $5$ piles meaning we have to equally put them in each pile, for this we have to divide the total number of shells.

Let the number of shells in each pile = $s$  

And total number of shells = $(25+25)=50$

So,

The number of shells in each pile.

⇒ $s=\frac{Total\ no.\ of\ shells}{Number\ of \ piles}$

⇒ $s=\frac{50}{5}$

⇒ $s=10$

From equation $A$ where, $s=\frac{(25+25)}{5} =\frac{50}{5} =10$ gives the same answer.

Then option A is the right choice.
