Cindy recycled 54 pounds of paper . she recycled 9 times as many pounds of paper as monica . write an equation that can be used to find m, the number of pounds of paper monica recycled . then solve the equation to find the number of pounds of paper monica recycled.

Equation:

Monica recycled 6 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Cindy  recycled 54 pounds of paper and this is 9 times as many pounds as Monica.

Then, let be "m" the number of pounds of paper Monica recycled. Therefore, you can set up the following equation:

To solve the equation you need to solve for "m". Then, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 9:

Monica recycled 6 pounds of paper.

9x = 54

Monica recycled 6 pounds of paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Cindy recycled 54 pounds of paper which are 9 times as many pounds of paper as Monica.

Assuming that Monica recycled pounds of paper, we can write an equation.

Finding to know the number of pounds of paper Monica recycled.

x = 6

Monica recycled 6 pounds of paper.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
