Question

Ron has 2500 pounds of sod to deliver. He wants to deliver an equal amount of sod on each of 4 trips. Write an equation for s, the amount of sod that Ron should deliver on each trip. Then, solve the equation for s.

Answer 1

To represents s, the amount of sad that Ron should deliver on each trip, you will create the following equation.

s = 4500/4 or 4s = 4500
s = 1125 pounds

Ron will deliver 1125 pounds of sod each trip.
