Question

Carlos is having a big party. He invited 5 times as many children as adults. He invited 15 adults. Which equation shows how to find the number of children invited to the party?

Answer 1

75 children.

Explanation:

If the amount of children is 5 times as many adults, you just need to multiply 15x5.

15x5=75 The number of children invited to the party is 75.

If you wanted this in an algebraic equation, it would look similar to this...

15(5)=x To solve for x, multiply 15 by 5.

75=x

Hope this helps! Have a great day ^^
