1. **State the problem:** We have a total of $p=342$ peanuts divided equally into 6 bags. We want to find how many peanuts are in each bag.
2. **Identify the operation:** Since the peanuts are divided equally, the operation is division.
3. **Write the expression:** The number of peanuts per bag is given by dividing the total peanuts by the number of bags, so the expression is $$\frac{p}{6}$$.
4. **Substitute the value:** Replace $p$ with 342 to evaluate the expression: $$\frac{342}{6}$$.
5. **Calculate the result:** Divide 342 by 6:
$$\frac{342}{6} = 57$$
6. **Interpret the result:** Each bag contains 57 peanuts.
7. **Check the statements:**
- The operation is division. **True**
- The operation is multiplication. **False**
- The variable is the number of bags. **False** (variable $p$ is total peanuts)
- 342 divided by 6 equals 57. **True**
- Write the division expression as a fraction, $p/6$. **True**
- To evaluate, substitute 342 for the variable. **True**
- Each bag will have 57 peanuts. **True**
- The constant is 342. **True**
