Question

Lin-Yao spent a titl of 12.5 minutes folding some paper origami cranes. it took her 1.25 minutes to fold each one. The equation 1 25c= 12.5 represents this situation where c equals the number of orgami cranes she folded. what is the value of c in the equatuiin?

Answer 1

1.25c=12.5
Let's look at the equation. We need C by itself. The only way we can do so is by dividing each side by 1.25
1.25c=12.5
1.25c÷1.25= c
12.5÷1.25= 10
C=10
The value of C in the equation is 10.
