Question

Rose, Bette and Cindy equally shared 5 boxes of crayons. Write an equation to show how much each girl got. (each box of crayons had 12 crayons) PLZ HELP

Answer 1

Answer: $3x=60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of boxes of crayon = 5

The number of crayons in each box = 12

Then, the total number of crayons in 5 boxes =$5\times12=60$

let x be the total number of crayons each girl got.

Rose, Bette and Cindy (three friends)equally shared the total crayons , then the equation to show how much each girl got:-

$3x=60$

Answer 2

Since there was five boxes of crayons and there was 3 crayons in each one, the would be 15 in total. (crayons) And there was three people, 15/3=5 crayons per person. 
Equation: 3x=15
x stands for the amount of crayons each person gets.
