Some friends equally split some containers of strawberries. Each container held the same number of strawberries. The expression 9x7 represents how many strawberries each person received when splitting x containers. What does the number 7 in the expression represent?

Respuesta :

If you mean [tex] \frac{9x}{7} [/tex] then the 7 represents the number of people the strawberries were split between.

In this problem we have the expression

[tex]\frac{9x}{7}[/tex]

where

[tex]x[/tex]--------> the number of containers that were split

[tex]9[/tex]--------> the number of strawberries in each container

[tex]7[/tex]--------> the number of people the strawberries were split among

[tex]9x[/tex]------> the total number of strawberries

therefore

the answer is

the number [tex]7[/tex] in the expression represent the number of people the strawberries were split among
