Beth has 4 times as many quarters as Michael.
Beth has 16 quarters.

Write an equation that can be used to find the number of quarters, n, that Michael has.

Answer :

Explanation:

"4 times as many" means that Beth has 4n more quarters than Michael. When we are comparing Beth and Michael, we obtain the equation "B = 4n", where B is the number of quarters Beth has and m is the number of quarters Michael has. Let's find out how many quarters Michael has.

We know that:

  • B = 16

Solution:

  • B = 4n
  • => 16 = 4n
  • => n = 16/4
  • => n = 4

Hence, Michael has 4 quarters.
  • Let Michael has n
  • Beth has=4n
