Question

Which equation could be used to solve the problem?

Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in one hour.

At that rate, how many bushels would she pick in 8 hours (b)?

A.
b = 8 ÷ 4

B.
b = 4 ÷ 8

C.
b = 8 + 4

D.
b = 8 • 4

Answer 1

The answer is D because if she picks 4 per hour, all you have to do is 4•8
(4 times 8), 8 representing the amount of hours

Joan picked 32 bushels of apples in 8 hours

Answer 2

The answer would D. B=8•4
