Q. Maggie and her classmates are making cupcakes in baking class. Their teacher divides a bag of candy flowers evenly among 66 students at the table. Each student gets 33 candy flowers to use for decorating.\newlineLet ff represent how many candy flowers were in the bag to start. Which equation models the problem?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)3f=6(A) 3f = 6\newline(B)f6=3(B) \frac{f}{6} = 3\newlineSolve this equation to find how many candy flowers were in the bag to start.\newline___ candy flowers
  1. Understand the problem: Step 11: Understand the problem and set up the equation.\newlineEach student gets 33 candy flowers, and there are 66 students. So, the total number of candy flowers is 33 flowers per student times 66 students.\newlineCalculation: 3×6=183 \times 6 = 18
  2. Identify correct equation: Step 22: Identify the correct equation that models the situation.\newlineThe total number of candy flowers, ff, divided by the number of students, 66, should equal the number of flowers each student gets, 33. This gives us the equation f6=3\frac{f}{6} = 3.
  3. Solve the equation: Step 33: Solve the equation f6=3\frac{f}{6} = 3 to find ff.\newlineMultiply both sides of the equation by 66 to isolate ff.\newlineCalculation: 3×6=183 \times 6 = 18
