help it’s due monday number 12

Answer:
a. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Sophia bought 3 bags of candy, and each bag has 15 pieces:
[tex]3*15 = 45[/tex]
Sophia has 45 total pieces of candy.
If Sophia would like to fill 9 party bags with the candy she has bought, she must divide the 45 total pieces of candy into the 9 party bags:
[tex]45[/tex] ÷ [tex]9=5[/tex]
Therefore, each party bag will have 5 pieces of candy in it.
Answer:
A. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
A, since you can follow these steps:
First, find how many total pieces of candy must be distributed. This is always what needs to be answered in this sort of question.
In this case, it is 3 bags of candy ⋅ 15 pieces of candy in each.
The result - from 3(15) - is 45 total pieces of candy.
Now, we see that we're distributing that value among 9 people (this is another correct way of wording it).
So the result is 45/9, which then results in 5 pieces of candy for 9 guests.
I hope this helped a bunch! Tell me if you need any further assistance...
