Answer:
The expression that gives the number of bagels is 6b
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- A bagel shop sells bagels by the half dozen
- The table shows the number of bagels a shop gives per half
dozen ordered
- From the table:
# In the 6 half dozens there are 36 bagels
∵ 36 ÷ 6 = 6 bagels
# In the 7 half dozens there are 42 bagels
∵ 42 ÷ 7 = 6 bagels
# In the 8 half dozens there are 48 bagels
∵ 48 ÷ 8 = 6 bagels
- That means every half dozen has 6 bagels
∴ Each half dozen has 6 bagels
∵ There are b half dozens
∵ Each half dozen has 6 bagels
- To find the number of bagels in the b half dozens multiply the
number of bagels in each half dozen by b
∴ The number of bagels = 6 × b = 6b bagels
* The expression that gives the number of bagels is 6b
