E. Joe makes 9 equal servings from a 25-ounce bag of peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) would be incorrect because it would represent 25 divided by an unknown number equals 9. Melanie is dividing up 25 meters of paper into unknown lengths in order to end up with 9 banners, not dividing the paper into 9 banners.

(B) would be incorrect because it would represent 25 minus 9. Quill is giving away 9 cards, therefore taking away from his total.

(C) would be incorrect because it would represent 25 plus 9. George is inviting 25 kids and 9 adults, adding the people together.

(D) would be incorrect because it would represent 9 times 25. Becca creates 9 rows of 25, multiplying the rows by the buttons.

(E) would be correct because it would represent 25 divided by 9. Joe is dividing up a 25-ounce bag of peanuts into 9 equal servings. He knows that he is dividing it into 9 equal servings, therefore creating 25 divided by 9.
