WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF ITS RIGHT

Write an equation to solve the following problem. Let e = the total earnings. Use a slash ( / ) to show a fraction.


Maurice and three of his friends have a lemonade stand. They want to make enough money so that, after splitting the earnings evenly, each person earns $12. How much does the lemonade stand need to make?

Answer 1

Hello,

well there are four people, Maurice and three friends ok, and I need to find the fraction to make the each of them have 12 bucks. So I did 12*4 and it got me 48. So they would need to make 48 bucks at the lemonade stand.

So the fraction would look like 48/12, The reason is because when you look at a fraction, Its actually dividing. So 48 divided by 12 would get you 4. So the answer is 

48/12


Hope this helps, And have a awesome day!

Answer 2

you would put the slash like this /$12
because EACH person gets $12 dollars.
