You and three of your cousins shuck six dozen ears of corn for a picnic. Write an equation you can use to find the number of ears \( n \) for each person if each of you shucks the same number of ears.

To find the number of ears \( n \) each person shucks, we start by noting that there are four of you (you and your three cousins) and a total of six dozen ears of corn. Since one dozen equals 12, six dozen equals 6 x 12 = 72 ears of corn. The equation to find \( n \) would be: \[ n = \frac{72}{4} \] Now you can calculate how many ears each person gets to shuck!
