the committee at Ann's apartment complex decides to put up flower boxes on the south side of the building. Ann volunteers to purchase the potting soil.  Write an equation to help Ann find the number of soil she needs to buy.  Lets let A=Number of flower boxes. B=kg of soil each box holds. C=kg of soil in each bag. D=number of bags of soil.

Vocaloid · Answer

we want to know how many bags she needs to buy, so we are setting up an equation for D

if we multiply (number of boxes)(kg of soil per box), we end up with kg of soil. this is A*B

now, if we divide this by the kg of soil per bag, we get the # of bags. so far, this is A*B/C

now, putting it all together, D = A*B/C
