Question

Quincy found 120 shells during four days at the beach. if quincy found the same number of shells each day, how many shells did he find each day?

Answer 1

If Quincy finds 120 shells in 4 days, we can use the equation 4x = 120 to find how many shells she found each day. 4x = 120 If we divide both sides by four we get x = 30 So Quincy found 30 shells each day.

Answer 2

120 shells over 4 days
120/4 gives shells per day
30 shells per day.
