6 friends each want an equal serving of 36 cups of pudding. How many cups does each person get?
1. What is the problem asking you to find out? (how many cups each person gets)
2. Take the numbers you have and think: What would the problem be without the words? (36...divided by...6...EQUALS)
3. There you have it-- a word problem turned into an equation!
There was no word problem, so it would be a null equation.

look for key words in the word problem. the word is means = the word less than means < and the word greater than means > taken away, subtracted, deducted, etc. all mean substracted added, given, etc. all mean addidtion the important thing is to look for the key words in the problem, then, make sense of the numbers.
You will need to use your brain to figure that out. Different word problems need different equations.

Answer A Formula is when you have to write an equation that tells you how to answer that problem/question but the opposite would be the actual answer.
It is the solution or sometimes solutions when an equation or a problem has been solved.
Without an equality sign the given expression can't be considered to be an equation
Click on "Insert" and go down to "Equation." When the equation ribbon appears, select "Fraction."
You solve the equation.
