Answer :
Let's break down the situation described in the question:
Ms. Wendie gives each student 4 chocolate candies. In total, she uses 76 chocolate candies for all her students. We need to find out how many students received the candies.
Let's denote the number of students by [tex]\( n \)[/tex]. Since each student gets 4 candies, the total number of candies given can be expressed as [tex]\( 4 \times n \)[/tex].
According to the problem, the total number of candies is 76. So, we can set up the equation:
[tex]\[ 4 \times n = 76 \][/tex]
This equation models the situation perfectly. To find the number of students, we need to solve for [tex]\( n \)[/tex].
To solve the equation [tex]\( 4 \times n = 76 \)[/tex], we divide both sides by 4:
[tex]\[ n = \frac{76}{4} \][/tex]
Calculating this gives:
[tex]\[ n = 19 \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct equation to model this situation is:
Option A: [tex]\( 4 \times n = 76 \)[/tex]
And there are 19 students.
