Divide Total by Bands: Kendall added songs from each of her 5 favorite bands to make a total of 50 songs. To find out how many songs she added from each band, we need to divide the total number of songs by the number of bands. Calculation: 50÷5=10.
Check Equation 5s=50: Now, let's check if the equation 5s=50 models the story correctly. If s represents the number of songs from each band, then 5s should give the total number of songs. Plugging in s=10, we get 5×10=50, which matches the total number of songs Kendall added.
Test Equation s/5=50: To confirm, let's test the other equation, s/5=50. If we solve for s, s=50×5=250. This doesn't make sense because it suggests Kendall added 250 songs, which is way more than the 50 songs she actually added.
