At a neighborhood park, there are 11 spaces for bicycles on a rack by the basketball court. The bicycle rack by the playground has 3 times as many spaces for bicycles as the one by the basketball court. What equation can be used to find the total number of bicycles spaces on the rack by the playground?
Since they are 11 spaces for bicylces and the playground has as many spaces for bicycles then we use this equation 3 x 11 = 33 to find the total number of bicycles spaces on the rack by the playground.
