Question

A 10-ounce container of chocolate chips can be used to make 4 desserts. Each dessert has the same number of chocolate chips. Which equation shows how to find the number of ounces in each dessert? 10÷4=104 ounces 4÷10=104 ounces 10÷4=410 ounce 4÷10=410 ounce

Answer 1

Answer:

10 ÷ 4 = 10/4 ounces

Explanation:

10 ounces = 4 desserts

n ounces = 1 desert

Cross multiplying we get

10 = 4n

n = 10 ÷ 4 = 10/4 ounces

Answer 2

Answer:

So equation will be 4y = 10

To solve, we would use inverse operations.

by dividing both side by 4

4y / 4 = 10 / 4

y = 10/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10 ounce container of chocolate chips can be used to make 4 desserts.

Each desert has the same number of chocolate chips

Let number of chocolate chips in each dessert = y ounce

Therefore, chocolate chips in 4 deserts = 4y

and total chocolate chips is = 10 ounce.

So equation will be 4y = 10

To solve, we would use inverse operations.

by dividing both side by 4

4y / 4 = 10 / 4

y = 10/4
