Example Question #13 : Common Core Math: Grade 4

What equation is described below? 

\(\displaystyle 49\) is \(\displaystyle 1\) times as many as \(\displaystyle 49\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 48+1=49\)

\(\displaystyle 49+1=49\)

\(\displaystyle 49\times1=49\)

\(\displaystyle 50-1=49\)

\(\displaystyle 49\div1=49\)
