Question

The number of State Parks in California is 36 more than one third the number of State Parks in Florida. There are 85 State Parks in California. Which of the following equations would you use to find the number of State Parks in Florida? Note: f represents the number of state parks in Florida.

Quantity f plus 36 all over 3 equals 85

3(f - 36) = 85

1 over 3f + 36 = 85

Quantity f minus 36 all over 3 equals 85

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1/3f +36 = 85. You can figure this out by reading this "The number of State Parks in California is 36 more than one third the number of State Parks in Florida" and writing it as an equation.

85 = 1/3f + 36
