Cindy recycled 54 pounds of paper. she recycled 9 times as many pounds of paper as monica. write an equation that can be used to find m, the number of pounds of paper monica recycled. then solve the equation to find the number of pounds of paper monica recycled.

We can find the amount that Monica recycled using the following equation: C/9 = M, in which C is the amount Cindy recycled.

When we solve this, we get that Monica recycled 6 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the equation that we wrote and plug in the amount that is given for Cindy.

C/9 = M

54/9 = M

6 = M
