To kick off the summer, Maura is planning a "School's Out!" party for all her friends. She and her mom pick up a giant sub and a vat of root beer from Subs & Suds. When they get to the park, they cut the sub into 12 equal sections. Each section is 1/4 of a foot long.
Solve this equation for g to find the length of the giant sub.
Do you have an idea what to start with?
no i dont
Let the length be g, you cut it by 12 equal sections and each section is 1/4 of a foot
Can you make an equation to reflect this?
the answer will be 48 idk if this is right but i gt it by doing 1/4 divided by 12 which gave me 48 again idk if this is right so if its not don't come at meh
well it asked what was is equally eaning have to divided
but ok do what you wnna do
@nightshade0773 can you set an equation? It will be in the form of g / a = b
g is your total length, a- number of sections, b- length of each section
one of the answer choices are g/12=1/4
This is correct
Now you need to solve it for g, can you?
i got 3
That's correct. I assume you did: g = 12*1/4 g = 3 feet
no i didn't u weren't very clear but kk good job
