A store received a shipment of soup cans. The clerk put an equal number of cans on each of 4 shelves. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the total number of cans t and the number of cans on each shelf n.
The worker put an equal number of cans on 4 different shelves. That means he divided the number of cans by 4 to fill the 4 shelves. Just divide T by 4 and you have your answer.
