Mackenzie can eat an entire bag of 200 chocolate covered peanuts in 20 mouthfuls. If each handful is the same size, choose the equation that will tell us how many peanuts are in each mouthful. \(?\)

\(200 \, \div \, 20 \, = \, x\)

\(200 \, \times \, 20 \, = \, x\)

\(x \, \times \, 200 \, = \, 20\)

\(20 \, \div \, x \, = \, 200\)

Included Skills: Algebra

Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
