Question

Each student taking a standardized test is given 3 pencils. Tell how many pencils are needed for each number of students

Answer 1

x times 3 equals y

Explanation:

If it doesn’t provide the amount of students, it needs to be written as an equation. x will be the amount of students and y would be the amount of pencils each person gets. So, you need to multiply x with 3 because then it will show the result, which is y.
