Kira made 6 hats, 3 times as many as Henry. Find the number of hats Henry made, nn, using the equation 6=3n6 = 3n.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. Kira made 6 hats.
2. Kira made 3 times as many hats as Henry.
3. Let nn be the number of hats that Henry made.
4. We need to write an equation that relates the number of hats Kira and Henry made using the numbers 6, 3, and nn.

STEP 2

According to the given information, the number of hats Kira made is three times the number of hats Henry made. We can express this relationship as an equation.
Kirashats=3×HenryshatsKira's\, hats = 3 \times Henry's\, hats

STEP 3

We know that Kira made 6 hats and we are using nn to represent the number of hats Henry made. We can substitute these values into the equation from STEP_2.
6=3×n6 = 3 \times n

STEP 4

This equation is the answer to part (a) of the problem. It relates the number of hats that Kira and Henry made using the numbers 6, 3, and nn.
6=3n6 = 3n

STEP 5

To find the value of nn, we need to solve the equation for nn. This is done by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.
63=3n3\frac{6}{3} = \frac{3n}{3}

STEP 6

Simplify both sides of the equation to find the value of nn.
2=n2 = n

STEP 7

We have found the value of nn, which represents the number of hats that Henry made.
n=2n = 2
Kira made 6 hats, and Henry made 2 hats.
