Question

Seven people are going to share an 84-ounce bottle of soda. How many ounces will each person get to drink? Choose the correct equation and answer for this situation.
7 ÷ 84 = 84/7 = 12 ounces
84 ÷ 7/84 = 1/12 ounces
7 ÷ 84 7/84 = 1/12 ounces
84 ÷ 7 = 84/7 = 12 ounces

Answer 1

Hii, im Nat here to help.

Known: 7 people are sharing, 84 ounce,

So, since we are sharing, we have to divide.

So let's note whats know and whats unknown

Known:

Splitting evenly

7 people

84-ounce soda

Need to know:

How much each person will get

how many ounces each

So the first step would to divide 84, since there are 84 ounces, by 7, since there are 7 friends.

84÷7

Now, can 7 go into 84 without going over? Yes!

7x12=84

We would write 12, since 84 divided by 7 is 12.

And since 7x12 is exactly 84, we have no more steps

Hence,the answer would be 12.

Answer 2

Hii! It's your sister,Nat, again :>

So we know if they are going to spilt it evenly, we have to divide.

So let's write down what we know and what we need to know

Known

• Splitting evenly
• 7 people
• 84-ounce soda

Need to know

• How much each person will get
• how many ounces each

So the first step would to divide 84, since there are 84 ounces, by 7, since there are 7 friends.

Let's see!

Can 7 go into 84? (without going over)

Yes indeed!

7x12 is 84. (hints to why it's 12)

So

We would write 12

And since 7x12 is exactly 84, we have no more steps

Hence,the answer would be 12.

Happy learning!
