19. A teacher tells 36 students to form 4 equal groups. Write and solve a

multiplication equation to find how many students s there should be in

each group.

4 x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the groups have an equal number of students, we assume that each of the groups has x number of students.

Therefore since there is x number of students in each of the 4 groups, there is 4 * x number of total students in all groups combined.

Since the question already indicates that there are a total of 36 students in the class, then we can indicate that ...

4x = 36
