Ava is 4 times as old as Peter. What equation can be used to find Peter’s age?
Assumptions
Let a be Ava's age
Let p be Peter's age
We're given:
a = 4p
To find Peter's age, we divide each side of the equation by 4 to get:
a/4 = 4p/4
p = a/4
Assumptions
Let a be Ava's age
Let p be Peter's age
We're given:
a = 4p
To find Peter's age, we divide each side of the equation by 4 to get:
a/4 = 4p/4
p = a/4
