Ms. Wendie puts 4 chocolate candies in a bag to give each of her students on the first day of class. She puts a total of 76 chocolate candies in bags. Write an equation to model this situation. A) 4x = 76 Eliminate B) 4 + x = 76 C) x - 4 = 76 D) x ÷ 4 = 76

Respuesta :

This scenario is all about creating equal groups of 4 candies.  Because we know the total number of candies that were used, the 4 is a part and we are missing the other part(groups).  We can think of it as how many groups of 4 will result in 76.  This is shown in Choice A.
