Clara bought 16 cases of water bottles. There were 12 water bottles in each case. Four students wrote and solved equations to find b, the number of bottles that Clara bought. Which student wrote and solved the equation correctly? Maya’s work:
StartFraction b Over 12 EndFraction = 16. b = 1.3
Larissa’s work:
12 b = 16. b = 1.3
Sally’s work:
StartFraction b Over 12 EndFraction = 16. b = 192.
Anika’s work:
StartFraction 12 Over b EndFraction = 16. b = 192.
