Use the space below to tell me how many books are received in: 6 boxes = 10 boxes = n boxes = (Hint: Write an equation!)

Answer 1

Answer: The number of books in 6 boxes = 48

The number of books in 10 boxes = 80

The number of books in n boxes = 8n

Explanation:

Given : Each box has contains about 8 books.

Total books : (Number of books in each box) x (Numbers of boxes).

Then, the number of books in 6 boxes = 8 x 6 = 48

Similarly,

The number of books in 10 boxes = 8 x 10 = 80

The number of books in n boxes = 8n

Hence, The number of books in 6 boxes = 48

The number of books in 10 boxes = 80

The number of books in n boxes = 8n
