Question

Chen is stocking empty shelves at his store with board games. He splits the boxes of board games evenly among 4 shelves. There are 15 boxes on each shelf. Which equation can be used to determine how many board games Chen arranged on the shelves? A. 4 × s = 15 4 × s = 15 B. 15 − s = 4 15 − s = 4 C. s + 4 = 15 s + 4 = 15 D. s ÷ 4 = 15 s ÷ 4 = 15

Answer 1

Answer:

D. s ÷ 4 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of shelves, n = 4

Number of board games per shelves = 15

Total number of board games, s = number of shelves × number of board games per shelves

s = 15 × 4

s/4 = 15

The expression:

s ÷ 4 = 15
