Question

Allison is baking a pie she wants 4.5 strawberries in each serving for 8 people write and solve division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will neeed

Answer 1

Answer:

The division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will need is $\frac x8=4.5$.

Allison will need 36 strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of strawberries in each servings = 4.5

Number of servings = 8

We need to write and solve the division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will need.

Solution:

Number of strawberries Allison will need be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Number of strawberries Allison will need divided by number of servings is equal to number of strawberries in each serving.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac x8=4.5$

Hence The division equation to find how many strawberries Allison will need is $\frac x8=4.5$.

On solving the equation we get;

Multiplying both side by 8 we get;

$\frac x8\times8=4.5\times8\\\\x=36$

Hence Allison will need 36 strawberries.
