Question

Write a real-world situation that could be modeled by the equation 24/y=3. Then solve the problem. Anyone plz help me.

Answer 1

Bobby has 24 pizza slices
he divided them among his friends and each friend got 3 pieces
how many friends did he have

so
24 divided by number of friends=3
24/y=3
multiply both sides by y
24y/y=3y
24 times y/y=3y
24 times 1=3y
24=3y
divide both sides by 3
24/3=3y/3
8=3/3y
8=1y

y=8
8 friends
