Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We need to find the number of pieces of fruit in each of the 7 equal groups.
2. The total number of pieces of fruit is 21.
3. The problem involves simple division to find the value of each group.

STEP 2

1. Define the variable.
2. Set up the equation.
3. Solve the equation.

STEP 3

Let x x be the number of pieces of fruit in each group.

STEP 4

Set up the equation based on the problem statement.
7×x=21 7 \times x = 21

STEP 5

Solve the equation for x x .
Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate x x .
x=217 x = \frac{21}{7}

STEP 6

Calculate the value of x x .
x=3 x = 3
