Question

3 A truck delivered 48 cases of drinks to a gas station. Each case contained 24

drinks. The drinks were placed in rows in the cooler. There were 16 drinks in each
row. Which equation can be used to find r, the number of rows the drinks were
placed in?
€ 48 + 16 + 24 = r
18 x 21 +16=r

Answer 1

Answer: A 48 x 24/16 = r

Explanation:

48 x 24 = the total number of drinks

Since there are 16 drinks in each row you want divide to get the number of rows in each drink.

Ex: 48 x 24= 1,152 (total drinks)

16 drinks in a row

1,152/16 = 72

72 rows
