Question

A banker receives 1,264 gold coins. The banker arranges them in 79 stacks in the vault.
If the coins must be arranged in stacks of 16 coins each, which equation represents the number of stacks for the given number of coins?

Answer 1

Total number of gold coins $=1,264$
Number of gold coins in one stack $=16$
Total number of stacks $=79$
Division statement expressing this situation:
Number of stacks $=\text{Total number of gold coins}÷\text{Number of coins in a stack}$
$79=1264÷16$
$1264÷16=79$
So, option B is correct.
