Miya has some weekly chores to do at home. In one month, she washed 11 equal-sized loads of towels. She washed a total of 154 towels with t towels in each load. Write a multiplication equation that can be used to find how many towels were in each load. Solve the equation you wrote. Explain how you solved your equation.

14 towels per load

Step-by-step explanation:

Miya washed 11 equal sized loads of towels. She washed a total of 154 towels.

It is given that the variable, t, amount of towels are in each load.

Set the equation:

Amount of load x amount of towels per load = amount of towels in all

11 * t = 154

Isolate the variable, t. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 11 from both sides:

(11t)/11 = (154)/11

t = 154/11

t = 14

14 towels per load is your answer.
