Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question assumes there are 5 people at the table. So the number of nuggets are: 1,3,0,6,and x. So your equation is:

 

So let's solve what we can of the numerator first: 

1+3+0+6+x=10+x

So now we have:

We can multiply both sides by 5 to clear the denominator:

Now we isolate the x by subtracting 10 from both sides.

10+x-10=15-10

x=5

So the missing number of nuggets is 5.

Hope that helps.
