Q. Evelyn's favorite class is woodworking. For her last project, Evelyn glued together 7 strips of wood side-by-side to make a decorative sign. Each strip of wood had the same width. Her finished sign was 14 inches wide.Let s represent the width of each strip of wood. Which equation models the problem?Choices:(A) 7s=14(B) 7s=14Solve this equation to find the width of each strip of wood.___ inches
Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation that models the problem. Evelyn used 7 strips of wood, each of equal width, to make a sign that is 14 inches wide. The total width is the sum of the widths of all strips. Therefore, the equation is 7s=14, where s is the width of each strip.
Solve Equation: Solve the equation 7s=14 to find the width of each strip. Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate s. s=714s=2
