Some friends equally split some containers of strawberries. Each container held the same number of strawberries. The expression represents how many strawberries each person received when splitting x containers. What does the number 7 in the expression represent?

Respuesta :

The number 7 in the algebraic expression is the number of people among whom the strawberries were split.

We have been the expression 9x/7

Here x represents the number of containers.

According to the algebraic expression given the coefficient of x is 9 that is the numerator can be written as

9*x that is 9 is multiplied x times. As x is the number of containers so lets denote the number 9 as the number of strawberries in each container.

So if there are 9 strawberry in 1 container then number of strawberries in x container will be given by unitary method that is,

                                1 container  = 9 strawberry

                                 x container = 9*x strawberries

Therefore there are total 9x strawberries.

These strawberries were split among 7 people. Then each person getting the number of strawberries is given by:

                           9x/7

Hence 7 represents the number of people among whom the strawberries were split.
