2/3(60)−6≥3x


2/3(60)≥3x


1/3(60)≤3x

Answer 1

Okay at first I thought I had to solve this haha, but it is just a choose the best formula. Okay, so we know it isn't C or B because she gave 1/3, not 2/3. We also know it cannot be D because she gave 6 candies to her friend, so you'd have to subtract 6 candies. So the answer has to be A. :)

I hope this helps.
